Social Media, Accountability and Public Transparency

This report, fully titled Social Media, Accountability and Public Transparency in Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States: Emerging Models, Opportunities and Challenges, is published by the UN Development Programme.

Additional Information:

The domination of the executive over other branches of the government and the media is frequent in Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), but the rapid development of social media is changing this pattern by transforming personal conversations and individual opinions into a subject of public debate. This document, published October 2011, identifies three key models of social media and accountability, using examples from the region.
