Abstract

Reforming public administration is a necessary condition for social and economic development of
the region, competitive recovery of the economy, more active citizen participation and higher personal
responsibility. Each region has its own reform composition reflecting the level of its economic development,
politics and culture and, consequently, has its own concept of information policy. Modernization and
creation of a new system of public administration aimed to improve its quality requires a new conceptual
basis of regional information policy.
The purpose of the paper is to reveal the effect of the changes in public administration on the content
of regional information policy. The method applied is the structural and functional analysis of the approved
documents on information policy in the Russian regions. This analysis has revealed typical structural changes
in the regional information policy of government executive bodies. These results can be used to develop new
concepts of information policy in the regions of the Russian Federation.
