Research on Collaborative Governance of Smart Government Based on Blockchain Technology: An Evolutionary Approach

Abstract

Smart government is an important means of optimizing government management, improving the government decision-making capacity, and pushing forward the public service. When the smart government process applies, the dire straits of collaborative governance among the different participants could not be ignored usually caused by maximizing their profits. Based on the current research, this paper introduces the blockchain technology into the smart government system and establishes a smart government platform architecture. Meanwhile, to analyse the evolutionary and stable strategies of the three parties under the blockchain technology, the evolutionary game model including functional departments, local governments, and end users as the main players is established on account of the bounded rationality. By examining the “blockchain + government service” in Beijing with the systemic dynamics theory, this paper changes the influencing factors simulated by changing the parameter assignment, to determine the evolutionary stable equilibrium under different external conditions. The results show that local government supervision plays a leading role in the process of collaborative governance of smart government based on blockchain technology; meanwhile, effective cost control is a key factor affecting the evolutionary stability strategy (ESS). Besides, the “decentralized” structure, “distrust” architecture, and “precision” mechanism of the blockchain are verified for the effect of the evolution process. Among them, precision service and flat management improve the possibility of collaborative governance, but the impact of the trust mechanism is not obvious. Therefore, the collaborative governance model of smart government based on blockchain technology is loaded with far-reaching significance for promoting the modernization of China’s governance capacity and governance system.

A inteligência na gestão pública: uma análise sob a perspectiva institucional

“…A inteligência na gestão pública aparece relacionada com a forma pela qual o governo age diante das incertezas do ambiente, vislumbrando o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias em políticas públicas, por meio do monitoramento ambiental e do aumento da capacidade de processamento de dados e informações, com base nos sistemas integrados e na capacitação de servidores e gestores, visando otimizar a gestão governamental, melhorar a capacidade de tomada de decisão do governo e impulsionar o serviço público (Shan et al, 2021).…”

“…Fonte: Elaborado pelos autores.Considerando a importância dessa relação entre categorias e dimensões da inteligência na gestão pública, evidencia-se a relevância do institucionalização da inteligência no governo como um meio importante de otimizar a gestão governamental, melhorar a capacidade de tomada de decisão e impulsionar o serviço público(Shan, Duan, Y. Zhang, T. T. Zhang, & Li, 2021), por meio do aproveitamento efetivo de dados e informações advindos do ambiente externo, produzidos pelos diversos órgãos públicos e pela participação social. As organizações públicas precisam estruturar o…”

Research on the Establishment and Stability of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region Air Pollution Cooperative Control Alliance: An Evolutionary Game Approach

“…On this basis, the game results reveal that the effect of emissions tax on pollution and social welfare is more significant. Furthermore, some scholars have also developed evolutionary game models and centralized-decentralized game theoretic models with functional departments, local governments, and end-users as the main players to analyse the effect of the government on corporate behaviour [44][45][46][47].…”
