摘 要

面對(duì)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)治理中的復(fù)雜性和相互沖突的挑戰(zhàn)，國(guó)家治理機(jī)構(gòu)是如何進(jìn)行功能定位或角色表達(dá)的？本研究通過中國(guó)市級(jí)網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間管理機(jī)構(gòu)（MCA）的制度設(shè)計(jì)來探討國(guó)家在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域中的地方治理經(jīng)驗(yàn)。我們整合了三個(gè)通常各自獨(dú)立的國(guó)家框架——發(fā)展型國(guó)家、監(jiān)管型國(guó)家和監(jiān)控型國(guó)家——來闡釋MCA所可能承擔(dān)的角色?；?017-2022年間137個(gè)MCA職責(zé)范圍的內(nèi)容分析，本研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這些機(jī)構(gòu)致力于履行多種同時(shí)并存但層級(jí)分明的角色，包括審查互聯(lián)網(wǎng)以維護(hù)社會(huì)穩(wěn)定、監(jiān)管互聯(lián)網(wǎng)產(chǎn)業(yè)與基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施以及促進(jìn)地方數(shù)字經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。這顯示，對(duì)于理解中國(guó)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)治理體系的動(dòng)態(tài)性和多層次性，一個(gè)整合性的國(guó)家分析框架具有重要的理論價(jià)值。

ABSTRACT

How does the Chinese party-state address the diverse and often conflicting challenges of internet governance? This study examines this question by analyzing theinstitutional design of municipal cyberspace administrations (MCAs), a key yet understudied group of local state actors. It brings together three often siloed state frameworks——the developmental state, the regulatory state, and the surveillance state to ——theorize the roles MCAs are tasked with performing. Based on content analysis of responsibility areas from 137 MCAs, the study finds that these institutions are designed to fulfill all three roles, which coexist but are hierarchically arranged, with surveillance as the dominant focus. These roles include censoring the internet to maintain social stability, regulating China’s internet industry and infrastructure, and promoting the development of local digital economies. A case study of the Xianyang MCA further illustrates how these roles are reflected in organizational design and annual activities, with a notable emphasis on developmental tasks.The findings demonstrate the value of an integrated state framework for understanding the dynamic and multilayered nature of China’s internet governance regime.
