Abstract:
Ecological environment governance encompasses interactions within multiple types of subjects, among subjects, and between them and the environment. Currently, there exists a significant tension between the imperfection and lag of the system, the high-performance demands of the government, and the individualized requirements of the public. Seamless governance is an innovative concept emerging from the new public management movement, aiming to bridge the action gaps among various subjects and offering an effective approach for ecological environment governance. Under the task of ecological environment governance and the concept of seamless governance, this study commences from the representative product of the digital platform and analyzes how it strives to achieve the construction of the seamless structure through the intermediate path of network embedding. The study reveals that the digital platform achieves filling embedding in relationship embedding and structure embedding by establishing three types of “high-density” networks within the government, between the government and the people, and in environmental contact, thereby forming a “seamless” structure of a single network. Simultaneously, considering the coherence, unity, and support of multiple networks, the behavior of permeable embedding is employed to achieve the “seamless” construction among high-density networks. This study endeavors to unveil the mechanism black box from micro efforts to macro structures and provide an intermediate path of network embedding for it. In the classification of the two embedding modes and the insight into the embedding mechanism, it endeavors to furnish referential experiences for the refined and holistic development of ecological environment governance.
