2020年冬季中国公共管理研究佳作评介

This article introduces four of the latest,high-quality papers published in China’s top journals.The first article is an in-depth discussion of"government as a platform"contributing to an emerging and timely discussion of digital government in the public management literature.By employing the theory of"loose coupling"from organizational institutionalism,the second study introduces a new theoretical concept,that is,a"security zone for achievement"to synthesize the seemingly contradictory propositions derived from credit claiming and blame avoidance,based on a city’s trajectory in a Smart City project.The third paper proposes a theoretical alternative,prioritizing the Party committee’s assigned tasks,to supplement the existing explanations of local governance in China as applied to water treatment in provincial China.Such a mechanism is different from the campaign-style governance model because the Party committee plays a key role in providing substantial institutional incentives.The final paper conceptualizes institutional frictions in the Chinese context and explains different spending patterns across functional expenditures at the provincial level,suggesting a local leader’s tenure may influence target selections for punctuated expenditures.The paper concludes with a brief summary.

The Practical Challenges and Ecological Construction of the Lifelong Learning System in the Digital Era

At present,intelligent digital technology is irreversibly influencing all levels of the education field.The construction of an education system serving lifelong learning has also become an essential field of digital transformation.In the face of the impact of marketization,aging,and networking,as well as the update and iteration of intelligent digital technology,the construction of the lifelong learning system not only needs to realize the transformation with the help of digital technology but also needs to clarify the internal correlation of transformation goals,computing power support,multiple collaboration,and learning evaluation from the framework structure.At the same time,it is necessary to realize that the penetration of technology into lifelong learning may cause the misunderstanding of technology supremacy and the trap of tool rationality.Therefore,technological empowerment and enablement can accelerate the digital transformation of the lifelong learning system and coordinate with community education,elderly education,vocational education,higher education,and other fields to construct an integrated environment.Additionally,being critical issues requiring attention from society,they are also vital ways to overcome the above dis advantages,promote interactions between communities,governments,and professional education organizations,and improve the digital and intelligent learning environment.
