摘要
互联网正深刻改变着两性公民的社会参与方式,然而现有研究忽视了互联网在村庄治理参与中对不同性别的影响。对2017年度“中国家庭大数据库”的实证分析发现:使用互联网能显著促进两性在村庄治理中的实质参与行为;互联网并未复刻现实中的两性行为差异,而是能够公平促进两性的实质参与行为;互联网更能促进年龄在36—50岁、初等教育水平、经济独立的农村女性实质性参与行为,对广泛促进农村女性公平参与村庄治理具有积极意义。但是,这一结果并非某种技术要素孤立作用的结果,而是国家顶层设计、地方制度创新、村庄治理转型、信息技术变革以及性别文化重塑等一系列正式与非正式制度要素相互叠加与影响的结果,这些要素合力推动数字乡村建设朝着重视女性多元需求、开拓女性参与空间、承认女性参与价值的方向发展。
Internet access in China's rural areas has substantively changed villagers'lifestyles and political participation patterns.In the study of political science,scholars have not yet reached agreement as to how internet use affects political participation,but four possibilities recur:internet use tends to promote or inhibit citizens'participation behaviours;internet has no effect or the effects vary from person to person.Although some studies have highlighted gender differences as a secondary variable in factors such as internet access,length of on-line time,and purpose of Internet use,few have centred on gender analysis,especially in the field of grassroots governance.This article verifies the positive impact of internet use on gender equity in grassroots political participation and reveals its underlying mechanisms.Based on the theory of″women's substantive representation″,this research proposes an analytical framework for rural women's participation in village governance.It raises questions about village affairs as an important component of women's participation.Drawing on the 2017 China Family Database(CFD)survey data on rural Chinese households,this paper provides empirical evidence of the influence of gender on internet use and villagers'political participation.Results show that,after controlling the other factors,(1)internet use has a significant positive impact on substantive participation in village governance;(2)the internet has a positive impact on the participation of both male and female internet users in rural areas,which indicates that the virtual community does not exacerbate gender gaps that are present in real life,but promotes women's representation in a gender-fair way;(3)for rural women of different ages,education level,and working background,internet use is more likely to promote the substantive participation of women aged 36 to 50 years old,with only primary education,who are a part of the workforce and have independent incomes.Since this rising trend does not increase linearly with age and
