Policy Intelligence Agents: Toward an Agile Governance Model in Rural Tianjin
Abstract
In the context of the rapid development in the contemporary era, the socio-economic environment has become increasingly intricate and volatile, resulting in more diversified demands among farmers. The traditional top-down and hierarchical models of rural governance have gradually exposed multiple deficiencies. Against this background, the “policy agent”, as an emerging technological instrument, provides new perspectives and methods for agile governance in rural areas of Tianjin. The combination of policy agents and agile rural governance represents a more in-depth application of digital technologies in strengthening state governance at the grassroots level, significantly reshaping the pattern of traditional rural governance. By integrating the conceptual framework of policy agents into the agile rural governance system, local governments intend to drive a fundamental transformation in rural governance structures and production relations through technological innovation.
