Complexity Reduction:A Theoretical Explanation for the Digital Transformation in Government Governance
The continuous development of modernization,while giving rise to social complexity,has also greatly expanded the difficulty of government governance,posing a challenge to traditional government governance.Complexity reduction is an important element of Luhmann's system theory,and it is also an important driving force for government governance to adapt to social changes and promote its own development.Different from the authoritative contracting mechanism of simplified governance and the institutionalized contracting mechanism of hierarchical governance,the Conflict Mediation Center in City A focuses on resolving local conflicts as its core function,and applies digital technology to construct a"matter-centered"governance environment,leveraging the advantage of digital technology in reducing complexity contracting in time and space,and reflecting the efforts to reorganize the governmental governance structure with the logic of"function-structure".It also constitutes a new direction for the reform of government governance modernization,which is of great significance in the practice of digital transformation of local governments.
