摘要

众所周知,信息和通信技术(ICT)有助于促进治理和公民参与国家决策进程。然而,电子政务研究人员认为,除了目前利用信息通信技术促进已经存在的治理手段之外,还存在着利用信息通信技术从根本上革新公共行政的可能性。人们有一种想法和愿望,即建立基于信息通信技术的国家(E-states),这种国家不需要政府,公民可以在不需要机构的情况下自我组织和自治。这是一篇概念性论文,讨论了这一愿望的可行性和前景。该研究在治理和公共行政的背景下回顾了政治、公共行政和信息技术领域的文献。本研究最终认为,建立电子国家的可能性将取决于将现有的政治意识形态和治理制度转变为无政府主义。事实上,信息和通信技术不能取代政府和某些政府机构,而只能帮助他们。

E-State
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is known to facilitate governance and citizen participation in States' decision making processes. However, e-governance researchers have argued that beyond the current use of ICT to facilitate already existing means of governance lays the possibility of its use to fundamentally revolutionise public administration. There is the ideation and aspiration for ICT-based States (E-states) which exist without governments, and whose citizens can self-organise and self-govern without the need for institutions. This is a conceptual paper which discusses the viability and prospects of this aspiration. The study reviews literature in the areas of politics, public administration and Information Technology in the context of governance and public administration. This study ultimately argues that the possibility of establishing an E-state will be dependent on changing existing political ideologies and systems of governance to anarchism. As it is, ICT cannot be a substitute for governments and certain governmental institutions but can only help them.
