Abstract

Studies on digital Asia tend to cluster around certain interrelated core strands, which has led other topics to be largely overlooked, one of which is the state. Scholars neglect the state to their detriment. First, the article shows that the state is not a monolith but, rather, a venue for contesting and debating different concerns, in which various interests collide and various actors seek to gain influence. Second, the article claims that, to a significant degree, the state can create and shape the landscape within which other actors conduct their affairs. It does not do so in a vacuum but often in response to particular mobilized social and economic concerns. This contribution mostly focuses on China, but its findings – as the concluding section discusses – also apply to other countries in Asia and worldwide.

不均匀的覆盖和空白:让政府重新参与进来
关于数字亚洲的研究往往集中在某些相互关联的核心线索上,这导致其他主题在很大程度上被忽视,其中之一就是国家。学者忽视国家对他们不利。首先,这篇文章表明,国家不是一个庞然大物,而是一个争论和辩论不同问题的场所,在这里,各种利益发生冲突,各种行动者寻求获得影响力。其次,文章声称,在很大程度上,国家可以创造和塑造其他行为者处理事务的环境。它不是在真空中这样做的,而是经常对特别动员起来的社会和经济关切作出反应。这一贡献主要集中在中国,但其发现——正如结论部分所讨论的——也适用于亚洲和世界其他国家。
