DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONING: INSTITUTIONAL CONDITIONS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
This paper examines how digital technologies are transforming parliamentary questioning processes in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Vietnam. While technology has contributed to faster procedures, greater transparency, and enhanced accountability—thereby reshaping the exercise of political power—its effects vary significantly across national contexts. The study proposes a four-level framework for digital transformation in parliamentary questioning, ranging from basic procedural digitization to advanced models that enable citizen co-creation of the questioning agenda. Based on this framework, the paper offers policy implications for improving the effectiveness and accountability of parliamentary questioning in the digital age.
