Sektor publiczny a nowa sfera publiczna
Public sector and new public sphere

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to define the characteristics and scope of the new public sphere, indicate its participants, as well as the implications of its operation. The main thesis can be summarized in the following statement: the new public sphere facilitates involvement in public issues and provides better opportunities for preference aggregation, which should result in greater efficiency of the public sector. The concept of the "new public sphere" has been proposed in opposition to the traditional, bourgeois public sphere, defined by J. Habermas. Its most important attribute is that it uses the Internet, in particular its asynchronous features, to build relationships, interest groups, and pressure groups, influencing the scope of the public sector.
