摘要： 技术治理进入国家视野是一个循序渐进的过程。相关研究先后拓展和增加了专家治国、技术官僚、信息技术和微观政治等概念，并分化为两个研究维度：一是一以贯之的国家如何以“技术性方式”进行治理；二是由“信息技术在政府应用”这一研究分支发展而来，分析国家如何将新技术手段引入治理。其中，前者是技术治理概念的逻辑起点，本文从这一起点展开分析国家与技术治理的关系，试图还原技术治理的本来面貌。基于技术治理具有自身发展和运作的自主性，国家与技术治理关系呈现三种基本形态：“吸纳”状态下国家对“可控”技术治理的应用、“扩散”状态下国家对“自主”技术治理的干预和“分途”状态下国家对“失控”技术治理的监管。最后，本文还进一步提出“超越技术治理”的两种路径构想，由此系统呈现了国家与技术治理相互形塑的整体图景，为技术治理研究提供了新的反思与关注的视角。

Abstract: It has been a gradual process for technical governance becoming part of state governance. The relevant research has expanded the conceptual variables such as “expertocracy”, “technocrate”, “scientific technology” and “micromanagement”. There are two research dimensions: one is how to govern in a “technical” way, and the other is how to apply new IT technology in governance.This paper begins with the relationship between the state and the “technical” way, a logic starting point of the concept of technical governance. Technical governance has its own autonomy in development and operation. From this perspective, we identify three basic relationship stages between the state and the technical governance.During the “absorption”stage,the state adopts the manageable technology. The technology empowers the state and at the same time the state becomes the sponsor of the technical governance. This is followed by the stage of “diffusion”, under which the state directly involves in adaptation of the technology through resource support and administrative authority. In the third stage of “diversion”, the state monitors any deviation of the technical governance through regulations and policies.This paper further puts forward two ideas of “beyond technical governance”: political imagination and market savagery. The former illuminates how policy makers transcend the limitations of technical governance in practice, and the later explains the potential research direction of technical governance in the future.In sum, this study presents an overall picture of the mutual shaping of the state and the technical governance, providing a new reflection for the research of technical governance.
