• W288436213 abstract "AbstractRecently we have witnessed information and communications technologies (ICTs) playing an important role in facilitating the so-called Arab Spring or Jasmine Revolution in authoritarian regimes. The revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests that has occurred in the Middle East and North Africa since late December 2010 has given rise to the most current research on ICT-mediated democratic development. Although there is no actual Jasmine Revolution-like political transformation taking place in China, the Chinese Party-State regime is, however, encountering an ever-increasing challenge and counterforce from ICT-empowered grassroots movements. These movements are frequently rising to defend their legitimate rights, pressuring the authorities to be more responsible, transparent, and accountable. Taking the Zhao Zuohai incident as a case study, this article argues that China's state-society relations are in transition due mainly to rising Internet-enabled social forces; including social and political dissents and movements. The Chinese Party-State is being compelled to adapt itself to the new dynamic informational environment and to establish a new mode of public governance to both accommodate new social forces and strengthen its governing legitimacy in the Internet age.Keywords: state-society relations, public governance, ICT, Zhao Zuohai case, ChinaJEL classification: D83, K42, P37, Z13(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.)... as President of the United States, there are times where I wish information didn't flow so freely because then I wouldn't have to listen to people criticizing me all the time. I think people naturally are - when they're in positions of power sometimes thinks, oh, how could that person say that about me, or that's irresponsible, or - but the truth is that because in the United States information is free, and I have a lot of critics in the United States who can say all kinds of things about me, I actually think that that makes our democracy stronger and it makes me a better leader because it forces me to hear opinions that I don't want to hear. It forces me to examine what I'm doing on a day-to-day basis to see, am I really doing the very best that I could be doing for the people of the United States.(US President Barack Obama, 16th November 2009)11. IntroductionSince the publication of the provocative and influential 1975 work, The Crisis of Democracy, there has been a growing concern about the health and fragility of modern democracy in the Trilateral areas - North America, Europe, and Japan. When this work was written, existing democracies were struggling with a crisis of governability. Specifically, states' ability to effectively respond to surging civic and public demands was impacted by uneven economic development, slower economic growth, and the decline of state authority.2 This sombre account of the prospects for existing democracies was shared by a number of other works from the same era, with Americans still expressing political cynicism post-Cold War during the 1990s.3 In his book Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam called attention to the general anxiety regarding participatory democracy and the erosion of the sense of community.4 Both the waning of social capital, characterized as consisting of social mistrust, and the lack of associational membership and political apathy, has led academics to argue that the social capital upon which modern civil society and liberal democracy hinge may be reinvigorated and restored through the broadened application of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), in particular the Internet and social media such as Facebook or Twitter.Entering the information age, ICTs have been instrumental in the information revolution, facilitating the transition from industrial society, driven mostly by forces of market globalization and technological innovation, to information society. …" @default.
