互联网赋权及其对国家的影响

Internet Empowerment and Its Influence on State

互联网的发展打破了人们相互沟通的地理界线,公众可以随时获取信息,它的普及带来了深刻的社会变革。互联网对国家和社会均进行了赋权,打破了传统的政治参与渠道,推动了政治自由化与公民参与,对国家统治和政治系统构成了冲击,引发了政治变革。面对互联网带来的挑战,国家需要进行积极的疏导,纳入多方行为体进行协同治理,不能无视与否定网络民主参与的事实,也不能对网络民意进行打压。有活力的社会和有弹性的国家有助于推动政治变迁,而互联网为双重民主化的过程提供了平台。

Internet development collapses the geographical boundaries of people＇s mutual connection and makes it conven- ient for them to collect information. The popularization of the Internet has brought about profound social changes, resulting in the emergence of Internet governance. The Internet has empowered both the state and society, broken the traditional channels of po- litical participation, promoted political liberalization and citizen participation, impacted the national rule and political system, and triggered political change. In the face of the challenges brought by the Internet, the country needs to take active guidance and bring in multiple actors to coordinate governance. It cannot ignore and negate the fact of democratic participation in the network, nor can it suppress the public opinion on the network. Dynamic societies and resilient states help drive political change, and the Internet provides a platform for dual democratization.
