Title:: Transformation of Government Public PowerStructure under the Effect of Network Public Opinion

Abstract:: As a new form of public opinion, network public opinion will have a multi-dimensional impact on the government public power structure through exposing the conflicts over interest distribution in the process of economic transformation; creating the mechanism and condition for people’s political participation against the background of the political democraticization; showing the tendency of the expansion of social power and providing substantial support for its operation. Responding to such developments, the government should restructure its public power in such a way that the distribution of power will change from the mode of centralization to equalization, the original hierarchical structure give place to a flat structure and the all-function governance be replaced by cooperative governance. In order to regulate this complex and far-reaching transformation, we have to take the transformation of government function as the definite direction and indispensable foundation and the electronic governance as the technical support to accelerate the transformation under the guidance of the principle of rule by law.
