Abstract

The configuration of modern digital spaces suggests that citizens interact in a responsible way generating and selecting information on which our criteria is based, it also implies that they can deliberate in the digital public sphere to influence decision makers in government; placing them as transformers to achieve political-social goals while questioning them. However, citizenship faces two main challenges in Mexico: In one hand, the lack of access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) which has to do with structural aspects related to poverty, marginalization and/or unemployment; and in the other hand, the need to guarantee the values of democracy in the network thru different political and electoral exercises. This paper seeks to review public policies aimed at developing a digital citizenship and an analysis of the implications and challenges in the concept of digital citizenship and the democratic impact in Mexico where the digital citizen interacts, defends and exercises his rights.
