| Establishing a long-term mechanism to solve relative poverty is an important strategic layout put forward by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19 th CPC Central Committee.Since the completion of the task of poverty alleviation in 2020,China has entered a new historical period of relative poverty governance.Relative poverty is a kind of multi-dimensional poverty,with unbalanced social relationship structure and self-cognition ethics as the core,and unbalanced development ability as the characterization.It is widespread and will exist for a long time in all regions and strata of our country.Blockchain is a new distributed computing paradigm.With its technical characteristics of information symmetry and non-tampering,it can effectively resolve many difficulties in poverty governance and significantly improve the efficiency of relative poverty governance.The 20 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes the need to focus on promoting inclusive affluence,which also puts forward new requirements and action guidelines for relative poverty governance.This paper uses the “Actor-Network” theory to construct a research framework and discusses the mechanism innovation of blockchain-enabled relative poverty governance.Specifically,mainly from the following aspects.(1)The related concepts of blockchain and relative poverty are sorted out to lay a theoretical foundation for subsequent research.(2)The challenges of relative poverty governance are studied.Relative poverty governance still faces five major difficulties: it is difficult to accurately identify the poor population,it is difficult to set the poverty standards in a balanced way,the data distortion problem derived from information asymmetry,the weak level of organization of the poor group,and the lack of standardized management of assistance resources.Based on this,this paper puts forward the necessity of blockchain enabling relative poverty governance,and also completes the“problem presentation” link in the theoretical framework;it also discusses the practical cases of blockchain-enabled relative poverty governance.(3)From the perspective of actor-empowerment translation,the feasibility of blockchain-empowerment relative poverty governance is demonstrated with the government,social organizations and poor groups as different subjects.That is to promote the government’s technological optimization in relative poverty governance,improve the technological expansion of social organizations in relative poverty governance,and unblock the technological embedding of poor groups in relative poverty governance.(4)From the perspective of network expansion,that is,mechanism construction,this paper puts forward the construction principles of innovation mechanism,and studies the five innovation mechanisms of blockchain enabling relative poverty governance.It is even easier to explore the accurate identification mechanism of the relatively poor,the information symmetry mechanism to resolve the dilemma of data distortion,the organizational development mechanism to enhance the degree of organization of the relatively poor,the intelligent management mechanism to improve the sinking system of support resources,and the trust supply mechanism to optimize the “government-civilian” interaction process.(5)To promote the wide application of blockchain-enabled relative poverty governance,it is still necessary to consider technical security risks,responsibility alienation and efficiency lag.In general,many difficulties in relative poverty governance are due to the biased governance mechanisms and tools.In the future relative poverty governance,the use of high-tech such as blockchain should be increased.Furthermore,the intelligent,precise and democratic optimization of the governance mechanism will also help promote inclusive affluence and socialist modernization. |
