Methodology: several cases
Legal Informatics Governance as approach, some time ago Social and legal obstacles for the
implementation of the Electronic Government: the risks Participation as alternative/complementary
approach Communicative theories best as
conceptual/analitical theories. The importance is in the promotion of the participation and, also,
the use of the social sciences tools
Legal Informatics
Objective: to build and to study (from 1970) an own academic knowledge area like Civil Law, Penal Law, Systems organizations...
To study the juridical information systems and/or the Law on the Information and Communication Technologies
It does not obtain good results coming from the juridical and computer science knowledge areas:
Another knowledge disciplines were early interested in the studies area
Another reason: The sweet decadence of the XIX century founded knowledge areas as only conceptual
paradigms as the person, the juridical texts, the procedure
The more convinient and interesting is the participative and interdisciplinary study of social, real, problems:
Personal data protection, security of the telecommunications, legal information systems, E- Commerce, E- Government, LEFIS, for example...
The teaching and research are organized today more from concrete needs as from general conceptual categories
Electronic Government as example
The exercice of the public power with the help of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
Legislative, executive and judicial powers According with the democratic principles,
charactersitics of the State of Law, specially: participation and powers division
It is the same as to say that E Government is the citizens’s participation in the exercice of the public power with the help of the ICT
The study requires political, juridical and interdisciplinary approaches. This is also to study the obstacles
But Governance as approach, some time ago
Art of government that has as objective the obtention of an economical, social and institutional development of durable character, promoting a sane equilibrium between the State, the civil society and the market of the Economy (Spanish Dictionary) Put in practice of the principle of openness, participation,
responsibility, efficienz and coherenz “the legislative road constitues frequently a part of
a more broad soluction” COM 2001 (European Commissión on Governance) Promotion of Governance is the objective of the research
Breaking Barriers to eGovernment www.egovbarriers.org, organized by request of the European Union, General Directorate of Information Society and Multimedia (2005-2007)
Obstacles Inventory
Leadership failuresFinancial inhibitorsDigital divides & choicesPoor coordinationWorkplace and organizational inflexibilityLack of trustPoor technical design
The risks: causes of the obstacles are in the Legal Foundations
Administrative law Authentication and Identification Intellectual Property Rights Liability Privacy and data protection Public administration transparency Re-use of Public Sector Information The Relationships between Public Administrations,
Citizens, and other ICT actors Study proposals of the research Breaking
Barriers to eGovernment
Participation as alternative/ complementary approach
Exercice of the principles of the State of Law Democracy and participation Powers division
Interdisciplinary study of the Law Attending to the citizens opinions and
theoretical proposals
Possible theories to use: 1
ALEXY (from 1990): the Law is a normative system 1) called to the justice, 2) integrated by all norms que are part of a real
constitution... and 3) by the principles and normative arguments that
foundament and ought foundament the procedure of juridical application to satisfy the justice requirements
Problems.- Too near to the Governance, analytical arguments, conceptual approach, normative approach specially
Communicative theories: 2
COMMUNICATIVE CONCEPT OF LAW (from 1993): just activity of jurists with relation to juridical texts
HABERMAS (2005): an activity is only “rationaly acceptable” if the activity is put in practice by the impartial proposal of a discursive procedure of formation of opinion and will, and
TAKIKAWA (2005): 1) it exists a general obligation to solve the problems, 2) the useful form to fulfill the general obligation is to give an especial
obligation to a concrete agent, 3) we have the especial obligation to solve the problem, 4) we must associate us with others to solve several problems, 5) the optime solutions to the problems, this is: the logic, the size, the
frontiers of these associations will vary according to the natur of the problems, and
6) the frontiers of the associations are complex and with multiple levels
