Regulation Information and New Information Technologie. Do "wiki-based instruments" play an influent role in regulatory procedures at the global level?

The A. illustrates briefly that regulatory institutions are often different from the government not only in the “global space” but also in the frame of the state-centred regulation. In this paper the A. will contribute to analyze whether and how regulatory global actors can be made accountable. The lack of accountability is a shortcoming generally revealed with regard to the regulatory bodies. In time traditional mechanisms of accountability have been replaced by a different approach, the “opening” of regulatory procedures by improving transparency and participation. Implementing these principles and making regulatory institutions more accountable is an activity based on “information”. In our society, information (entering or leaving the regulatory systems) is spread using applications based on Internet and World Wide Web predominantly. The new Information Technologies offer the opportunity to overcome shortcomings of traditional mechanisms of gathering and sharing information and make it possible to develop “meaningful collaboration” across levels of government and between regulatory bodies and the public.
