摘要:

当前数字治理实践中存在着量化与简化、整体与自主、集成与透明、标准与精细、效率与感受等多重悖论。这些悖论根植于工具理性崇拜与制度路径依赖的交互作用,由此导致数字治理实践往往偏离预期目标,甚至产生逆向效应。数字技术虽未达到预期效果,却在公共话语中被建构为“治理神器”,产生了“现实与叙事”之间更深层的悖论。因此,数字治理的未来转型应当认清技术边界、革新治理理念、注重社会感受,实现有技术边界感、制度突破性和体验真实性的数字治理范式,避免陷入炫技治理、数字空转和数治神话的误区。

Abstract:

Contemporary digital governance practices exhibit multiple paradoxes, including quantification versus simplification, holism versus autonomy, integration versus transparency, standardization versus refinement, and efficiency versus experience. From the perspectives of techno-fetishism and institutional constraints, these paradoxes are rooted in the interaction between the fetishization of instrumental rationality and institutional path dependence. This interaction often causes digital governance practices to deviate from expected goals and even produce adverse effects. Further examination from the perspective of story construction reveals that although digital technologies have not achieved the expected results, they are constructed as “governance panacea” in public discourse, giving rise to a deeper paradox between reality and narrative. Therefore, the future transformation of digital governance should recognize technological boundaries, innovate governance concepts, and focus on social experience, to achieve a digital governance paradigm with a sense of technological boundaries, institutional breakthroughs, and authentic experience, thereby avoiding the pitfalls of showy tech governance, digital idling, and the myth of digital governance.
