Abstract: With the development of information society, the introduction of information and communication technology raises new challenges for public administration efficiency while providing the opportunity and the coordinates for developing activities closer to the citizen; in this context, increasing administrative capacity improves the ability for Romania to defend its interests at European and international level. Electronic government or e-Government becomes more and more a major feature of the new information and knowledge-based society. The phenomenon is complex and refers to the many connections that exist between authorities, individuals and organizations present in a society. E-Government is the use of information technology applications by central government authorities with the following objectives: improving access to information and public services of central public administration authorities, removing red tape and simplify working methodologies, improving information and services exchange between central and local authorities, improving the quality of public services to the central government. The basis for the development of this concept was the need felt by the government to provide to citizens and organizational and social entities quality services, providing time and place utility, creating added value for all stakeholders. The arguments supporting this process of modernization of public services consist in improving public services, public confidence and democratization of society as a whole. This paper captures, in theory, structural elements of e-government platforms in Romania, focusing on stakeholder theory - taken from the sphere of private organizations and adapted to public domain - as a prerequisite to rethink governance. Thus, were analyzed the system coordinates of the relationships between public system and stakeholders and the benefits emerging from rethinking their alignment with EU policy context.
