Open government partnership: unutilized potential in post-communist EU members? (Case of the Czech Republic)

Original language description

This provided paper is a part of the research on transparent lobbying: “Impact of Transparency of Lobbying on Democratization and Its Consequences”. In this paper, I have shown that open government data might mean transparency about government if the effort will focus rather on political objectives not technological ones and rather on motivations not stimulations. It is among other things important to transparent lobbying as part of a broader approach to governance, based on the principles of openness, transparency, participation and disclosure. The problem of lack of transparent lobbying is closely related to increased inequality of access by voices representative of a wide range of interests to public decision-making. The Open Government Partnership (OGP), based on open government data, focuses on these issues and aims to secure concrete commitments from governments to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and harness new technologies to strengthen governance. I have reported that the Czech Republic does not use the potential of OGP enough. The qualitative analysis includes relevant sources on this issue, and both national and international comparative studies on open government data and open government partnership. For the case study of the Czech Republic, I analyse a starting position in the given areas and independent progress reports. I assign a value to each pursued criterion to find out whether the fixed commitments are met and if these commitments have relevance with respect to the values of the OGP. Then verbal analysis of various topics follows. Last section provides a comparative analysis of the summary results of seven member-states of the European Union that have joined the OGP initiative, and are also former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Presented results have a wider context that reflects the path dependency theory and places the whole issue into the broader framework of the Europeanization process.
