Summary/Abstract: Recognized as a tool with significant implications in the social order, social networks represent the electronic interface for the exchange of information on topics and common interests between governments and citizens. The purpose of this article is to analyze how social networks contribute to political and administrative processes through the diversity of roles with functional potential in the sphere of citizen mobilization and involvement. The objective is to investigate how social networks facilitate interaction and involvement between politics, administration and citizens, how public organizations use these tools and for what purposes. The applied methodology is summarized in the literature review, and to support our claims regarding the importance of social networks in political and administrative processes, we present official statistical data. We conclude with the need to address issues such as intergovernmental relations, the influence of social networks and the role of citizens, without neglecting the associated risks.
