Abstract:

In order to solve the efficiency dilemma of digital empowerment rural governance and realize the effective adaptation of technical tools to local situations, this study takes the digital integral system as the starting point, based on the standardized governance theory, and takes Z village in G city as an example to construct an analysis framework of “index quantification-rule construction-value goal” to analyze the root of its dilemma. It is found that the practice of digital integral system in Z village highlights three tensions: the conflict between clear governance standards and local vague affairs, the adaptation dilemma between rigid rule constraints and local practice flexibility, and the deviation of technocracy from the value order of the life world. Its deep root lies in the internal contradiction between the standardization of technical rationality and the elasticity of local knowledge and demand. Therefore, we should deconstruct the shackles of absolute standardization of technical rationality and explore a more inclusive and simplified governance model to effectively empower the modernization of rural governance.
