Políticas de Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação e democracia no Ceará

Abstract

This article analyzes the Information and Communication Technologies Policies (ICTs) implemented by the government of Ceará in the administrations of Cid Gomes (2007-2010; 2011-2014) and Camilo Santana (2015-2018)in order to evaluate the extent to which these policies were thought as tools for strengthening democracy. We opted to make a documentary analysis, both internal, which seeks to extract the fundamental and secondary lines of the documents, as well as external, contextualizing them within the political logic that originated them. It was concluded that there were some democratic gains, but those aimed at administrative efficiency were in fact the main focus of ICT policy.
