The problem of state governability escalated in the context of digitalization of activity. The network society is transforming public administration in the direction of collaborative governance, i.e. citizen participation in the production and enforcement of political decisions. In this regard, the modern concept of governability can no longer be subordinated to either the scientific-administrative, or the economic, or republican paradigms of public administration. Ensuring security and justice in the conflict of parties as the main functions of the state in the ideal of digitalization could be provided by algorithms of appropriate technologies, taking into account the norms of pure procedural justice. Also, complex and uncertain network environments have defined the nature of the new governability paradigm. A hypothesis is proposed and theoretically grounded: participatory governability in public administration is a network effect that occurs in network structures characterized by a large number of participants, density of relationships, reciprocity, trust and belonging. It implies the principle of collaboration between the state and society, the wide participation of citizens in public administration, in the development and implementation of policies. Network technologies provide collaboration based on an institutional form of interaction that is more effective than competitive representation. The digital blockchain algorithm provides the principles of pure procedural justice based on the rules of equality, trust, reciprocity and autonomy.
