公民网络政治参与与政府角色定位初探

On Citizens' Online Political Participation and Role of Government

网络政治参与已经成为现今公民政治参与的新形式。结合我国的现实状况,我国的网络政治参与形式大致可以概括为网络建言献策、网络揭黑反腐、网络群体性事件以及网络政治冷漠。作为公共管理者的政府在应对网络政治参与中面临多重难题,比如政府信息透明度低、网络立法缺位、政府网站建设滞后、政府网络资源供给不足、政府网络监管失灵等。政府必须调整角色定位,做网络民意的倾听者,网络问政的参与者和网络民主的引导者。

Citizens＇ online political participation has been a new way of civic engagement. In China, the methods of online political participation can be described as following categories： offering suggestions online, anti-corruption online, group incidents online and political apathy. Under this circumstance, the government has taken measures to face the new trends, but many problems still exist ： opacity of information, lack of legislation, delay of construction of government websites, government failure in network supervision, and insufficient supply of network resources. Therefore, the government should try its best to change its role to deal with the problems and to be a listener of the netizen opinions, a participator of online political participation, and a guide of cyber democracy.
