Technology Transforms Politics: Internet +
Government Services and the Transformation of
the Grassroots Power Structure

Social Sciences in China, 2019Vol. 40, No. 4, 173-192
Abstract
Since the rise of the Internet in China, China’s local governments have actively used Internet technology to facilitate public administration and public services. What impact, then, have different types of social media had on local governance? This paper, based on years of investigation of J Town and L Sub-district in Shanghai (2012-2018), finds that Internet technology has profoundly transformed the grassroots power structure. Before the rise of the Internet, the grassroots power structure included local government, activists and the masses; in the age of Weibo and home owners forums, grassroots opinion leaders rose, becoming an impressive social force that local government could not afford to ignore; in the age of WeChat, however, the influence of grassroots opinion leaders declined, as local government can interact directly with the masses through WeChat public accounts and WeChat group chats, with the network technology becoming a tool for micromanagement. These three stages correspond to three types of government characterized by limited mobilization, consultation, and user-friendliness, respectively.

技術改變政治✌🏼：互聯網+政務服務與基層權力結構的變遷

摘要
互聯網在中國興起之後，中國的基層政府積極運用互聯網技術來輔助公共管理和公共服務👨🎤。那麽，不同的互聯網形態對基層治理會產生什麽樣的影響？本文對上海市J鎮和L街道的跟蹤調查（2012—2018年）發現互聯網技術深刻改變了基層權力結構：在互聯網興起之前，基層權力結構包含基層政府、積極分子和群眾三個圈層😵；在微博和業主論壇時代🤽♀️🖱，草根意見領袖崛起，成為基層政府不得不重視的社會力量；在微信時代♝，草根意見領袖式微，基層政府通過政務公眾號和微信群與群眾發生直接聯系，網絡技術成為精細化管理的工具。這三個階段分別對應的是有限動員型政府、協商型政府和用戶友好型政府🏨。

How Information and Communication Technology Promote the Building
of Clean Government: A Case Study of Two Local Clean Government
Reforms in China
Li Hui
Social Sciences in China, 2019Vol. 40, No. 4, 85-105
Abstract
In recent years, many studies have begun to explore the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in promoting clean government, pointing out that it will make government more honest. However, existing research pays more attention to the correlation between the two factors, and few studies analyze in depth and in detail what the key ICT mechanism is that promotes the construction of clean government. Our case study of two innovative local clean government reforms in China has found that the key mechanism is improving the availability of information. Specifically, the reforms included two interrelated mechanisms: reducing the information asymmetry between vertical levels of government and bridging information barriers between government departments at the horizontal level.

互聯網信息技術與廉政建設：中國兩項地方廉政創新改革的案例研究

近年來🏌🏻♀️🙎🏿♂️，許多研究開始探討信息技術的應用在促進政府廉政方面的作用👩🍳，並且指出信息通信技術將提高政府的清廉程度。但是已有的研究較多關註兩個因素的相關性，很少有研究深入細致地分析信息和溝通技術到底通過什麽樣的關鍵機製來促進政府的廉政建設😮。本研究通過對中國兩項地方廉政創新改革的案例分析發現，其中的關鍵機製在於提高信息的可獲得性。具體來說包括兩個相互關聯的機製：降低縱向政府層級間的信息不對稱程度👨🦯，以及穿透橫向政府部門間的信息壁壘。
