区块链与社会治理:契合、优势与风险

Blockchain and Social Governance:Combination,Strength and Risk

本文在全面分析、解读区块链与社会治理现有研究成果的基础上,将区块链与社会治理的契合性归纳为塑造可信任社会、实现可编程社会。区块链应用于社会治理的主要优势在于优化社会治理空间、提高社会治理效率、体现共建共治共享的社会治理理念。区块链应用于社会治理的风险在于,区块链数据和系统的泛化与滥用可能形成治理路径依赖、加剧阶层分化与固化,并且造成个体权益保护和主体性丧失。在运用区块链推动社会治理的具体实践中,我们应秉持积极的态度,也应坚持谨慎与稳步的原则。

Blockchain is an emerging technology that could shape a more trust-based and contract-based society.Blockchain technology can optimize the social governance space and improve the efficiency of social governance,which helps to build a social governance model based on collaboration,participation,and shared interests.The application of blockchain to social governance may lead to the following risks.It may lead to governance path dependency,exacerbate the solidification and differentiation of classes,and reduce the subjectivity and protection of individual rights.When applying blockchain to promote social governance,we should adhere to the principles of cautious optimism and steady progress while maintaining a positive and open attitude.
