网络问政在中国已渐成趋势,并在我国民主政治生活中发挥着越来越重要的作用。网络问政一方面为政府与公众互动提供了新的平台,是提高政府公信力建设的新途径;但另一方面也使得政府难以靠垄断信息的传统方式来维护政府公信力,因而政府公信力建设在网络问政背景下面临着机遇与挑战并存的局面。
Online governance is a growing trend in China, and playing an increasingly important role in democratic and politic life. On one hand, online governance provides a new platform for the interaction between the government and people. It is a new way for the government to improve its credibility. On the other hand, it makes it harder for the government to safeguard its credibility in the conventional way of information monopoly.Therefore, the construction of government credibility faces both opportunities and challenges in context of online governance.
