Is Digital Formalism a New Formalism?:Analysis Based on the "Structure-Function" Framework
Governance digital formalism has become an important issue in the process of govern-ment digital transformation.However,most studies only continue the ruling party's criticism of for-malism,simply listing the deep-rooted causes as technical,institutional,pre-modernity and style problems,focusing on static sketches of problems and phenomena,and obscuring the complex and dynamic situation in which digital formalism occurred,and it is difficult to reveal its practical logic.This research takes administrative ecology as the basis for further conceptualization of digital formal-ism and exploration of causal mechanism and refines the＂structure-function＂analytical framework,thus revealing the generation and internal mechanism of digital formalism in the process of govern-ment digital transformation.The research points out that digital formalism is a new formalism,which is qualitatively different from the political situation in which the ruling party regards formalism as the opposite of the party's ideals,beliefs,and lines.Digital formalism belongs to the field of public ad-ministration and is a question of validity subject to normative constraints,that is,how can digital ad-ministrative forms be effective in the process of government digital transformation?To answer the question of how digital administrative form can exert its effectiveness,it is necessary to understand the administrative ecological relationship between digital administrative form and effective administra-tion.
