On the Shift of Research Paradigm in Digital Law:Systematic Governance of Risks
The innovative development of digital society has generated new types of social problems beyond social expectations.However,due to the updated iteration of information technology,law research has gradu-ally been unable to effectively solve these problems in the traditional theoretical paradigm.In particular,after big data,cloud computing and other technologies have liberated the economic value of data,traditional legal studies have gradually begun to transform to digital law studies.However,during the transition process,the research scope and paradigm of digital law have been frequently questioned and considered to be out of the inherent research system of the legal discipline.In fact,from the perspective of the development of digital law,this type of research has always been centred on legal relations,and technical principles and other elements of interdisciplinary knowledge are merely the necessary arguments for the research process,which is also the inherent characteristics of digital social governance issues.Moreover,as the current digital rule of law system tends to improve,the research paradigm of digital law has also shifted from the initial individual risk preven-tion to the systematic governance of risk.And through the basic research paradigm of hierarchical governance,full life-cycle governance,and synergistic governance theory,the articulation of the rules and synergy of obli-gations within the digital rule of law system has been completed.
