Presenter Anastasija Singireja Abstract This paper attempts to review the existing literature, analyzing implementation of open government initiatives primarily those aimed at creation, storage, processing and publication of data by governmental institutions. The major contribution is inclusion of different countries, including those characterized by parliamentary democracies and authoritarian regimes in the sample of the study, making it more relevant for Russian Federation, currently attempting to transition from executive branch-dominated democracy to a more stakeholder- and citizen-oriented one. The subject of this paper is constituted by relations between a) data consuming community, which consists of such actors as government and non-government institutions, private data analysis providers, citizen activists and ordinary citizenry and b) data providers, represented in this case exclusively by state bodies, impelled by respective legislation and regulations to publicize the data about their functioning.
