DialecticalLogicAnalysisoftheGenerationofCommonValuesofAllMankindFromthePerspectiveofMulticulturalism

HanShengWangChen-xi

Abstract:In the profound changes unseen in a century, the development process of global integration is not only reflecting the basic trend of world historical development, but also facing the impact and challenges brought by cultural diversity. The common values of mankind are an inevitable result of the development of global integration, whose formation process contains the dialectical logic of differentiated development of world multiculture. The coexistence of cultural differences and common values of all mankind implies the dialectical transcendence of cultural universality and specificity, highlights the world historical development theme of coexistence and harmony in focusing on mankind common concerns and realizing common goals. To promote the generation and realization of common values of all mankind, it is necessary to integrate the universality of world culture with the specificity of each country’s culture, which are further developed from the germinal basis (the communication dialectics in harmony with rationality and sensibility), the generation principle (the recognition dialectics in harmony with the self and the other), the growth space (the community dialectics in harmony with unity and freedom) and the existence insurance(the world order dialectics in the harmony between national sovereignty and international public authority) alike.

HowDoesTheFault-ToleranceMechanismWorkEffectively:BasedonTheAnalysisofTheTripleDimensionof“Subject-Content-Procedure”

ChenPeng

Abstract:The fault-tolerance mechanism is important to encourage officials taking on the roles in the process of comprehensively deepening reform, and is also the institutional guarantee for promoting modern national governance. At present, it is urgent to pay attention to practical issues such as the practical application and the improvement of efficiency of the fault-tolerance mechanism. Therefore, it is urgent to promote the effective operation of the fault-tolerance mechanism from the triple dimensions of clearing the fault-tolerance subject, the fault-tolerance content, and the fault-tolerance procedure. In terms of subject dimension, it is necessary to promote the synergy of multiple subjects by clarifying the implementation department, promoting the parties to apply proactively, and guiding the public to establish a good attitude; in terms of content dimension, the category of intolerable errors can be defined from two aspects of error types and error scales; in terms of procedural dimension, scientific and reasonable fault-tolerance procedures can be formed from three major links of error identification, error assessment and error handling.

QuadrantGovernance:AStrategicChoicetoAddresstheProblemsofAmbiguityandFragmentizationExistedinPrimary-levelGovernance

ZhouZhen-chaoHuangHong-kai

Abstract:Improving the efficiency of grassroots governance is of great significance in strengthening the foundation of national governance and promoting the modernization of the state system and capacity for governance. Due to the dual constraints of limited power and resources of the grassroots government, there are fuzziness and fragmentation in governance practices, such as information asymmetry, ambiguity of power and duties, poor policy implementation, and “involution” of governance activities, which cause overload for grassroots government.Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the concept of “quadrant” into the field of primary-level governance, using concern and complexity as reference coordinates, classifying primary-level governance matters into strong concern and strong complexity quadrant, strong concern and weak complexity quadrant, weak concern and week complexity quadrant, as well as weak concern and strong complexity quadrant. By constructing the quadrant governance structure and using different quadrants to realize the classification and clarification of ambiguous and complicated governance matters at the primary level, we can crack governance problems such as ambiguous governance, fragmented governance, and ineffective busyness of primary-level officials to a certain extent.

HolisticSmartGovernance:GoalChoiceandSystemConstructionofChina’sMegacitiesGovernance

JiangJun-jie

Abstract: China’s megacities are facing prominent contradictions in different aspects about huge scales of governance factors and insufficient capacity, rapid changes in governance scenarios and lag in governance model transformation, heterogeneity of social forms and single governance model, cross-border social problems and departmental barriers systems, the requirements of elaborate urban governance and the ambiguity of traditional management. The holistic smart governance provides theoretical support for the megacities governance from three dimensions of holistic governance, intelligent governance and full-cycle governance. The goal choice for the China’s megacities governance is realizing the effective transitions from manual inspection to automatic identification, from extensive management to precise governance, from passive reaction to active governance, from departmental barriers system to departmental coordination, and from empirical decision to scientific decision. Building a new system of horizontal interaction, vertical transfixion, data sharing, and process optimization, and exploring the formation of a new model of intelligent, precise, and full-cycle holistic smart governance are an important part of the digital transformation of China’s megacities governance, and also an inevitable choice to promote the modernization of the governance system and governance capacity of megacities.

Legalization, “GapSociety”andStateConstruction

ChenJun-ya

Abstract:The nomocracy is the basic element of modern state, which is closely related to the evolution of state form and the construction process of modern state. Since the Qin Dynasty, the establishment of the prefecture-county system has solved the problem of diversification and decentralization of state power caused by the local enfeoffment. As the embodiment of the state will, the decree is send from the “central government” and reaches the locality through the prefecture-county system, which is the fruit of “unification of decrees”. But this “unified decree” does not penetrate the locality and enter the society. From the perspective of the nomocracy, traditional China is a “Gap Society” with omission or even absence of state law, which is manifested in four forms: unreachable by the law, unreachable outside the law, unreachable with the law, and reachable but incompetent of the law. It is the contradiction and the tension between the local rules of particularism and the state norms of universalism running in society that lead to the emergence of “gap”. Only by understanding this traditional Chinese society form we can understand the constraints of the rule of law in the current state construction, as well as the direction and focus of the nomocracy construction and state construction.

ControlofPowerandDecocooningofRightinDigitalGovernance

YangShang-jian

Abstract: The digital society has entered a continuous “data + algorithm” stage, and the restriction of digital power has become necessary. The formation of information cocoons shows that the digital power is not only based on data, but more based on algorithm. The objective algorithm deviation, supplemented by personal power preference, is finally imposed on the algorithm and makes the digital individual bound by itself. In this context, the power preference of algorithm leaders will encrypt this self-enclosed organizational structure. In digital governance, it is necessary to curb digital power, and this technical imagination is reposed by the “data cage” of whole process control. The process of “cocooning” of digital individuals is also the process of loss of digital rights. On the premise of the absence of digital rights, the “data cage”, a digital balance mechanism that uses power to supervise power, is insufficient. The value of digital rights is to recognize the distribution and controllability of the algorithm, and intervene in the algorithm on this basis: prevent the loss of individual rights by closing the algorithm, restrict information screening to make people escape from the “cocoon room”, and make officials fear power by dataflow control.
