瑞典乌普萨拉大学尼科·卡彭铁尔教授就参与传播和国家治理这一话题接受了作者 的访谈，从参与传播的角度探讨了现状及其与新媒介、政治参与、政治传播及国家治理 的关系等话题。卡彭铁尔教授认为，参与传播强调传播过程的受众参与，打破了传者本 位的思维定势，是当代传播理论的一个重要发展。随着互联网的崛起，公众较之以前在 信息、知识和娱乐生产中扮演更重要的角色，并且更深入地参与到社会对话中。参与不 但关注国家与社会关系议题，也关注文化教育机构与公民关系议题。“少一些统治，多 一些治理”是21世纪政治改革的主要特征，亦可从参与传播的向度去考察。国家治理是 多元主体的参与过程，遵循权力平衡逻辑。从这个角度看，参与传播理论有助于拓展国 家现代化背景下我国传播学的研究视野。

Professor Nico Carpentier of Uppsala University in Sweden accepted an interview with the authors on the topic of participatory communication and state governance. From the perspective of participatory communication, Professor Nico Carpentier discusses general situation of participatory communication and the relationship between participatory communication and new media, political participation, political communication and State governance. In his opinion, participatory communication is a significant development in contemporary communication theories and emphasizes the people’s participation in communicative processes. It reverses the stereotypical centering of media producers. With the growth of the Internet, more than before, the public has the possibility to take a key role in the production of information, knowledge and entertainment, and can also become more involved in societal dialogues. Participation raises issues not only about the relationships between the state and its citizens, but also about the relations between cultural and educational institutions and the citizenry. “More of governance, less of ruling” features a major political reform in the 21st century, and this also can be analyzed from the perspective of participatory communication. State governance is a process that involves multiple subjects, which also follows the logic of power balances . From this perspective, participatory communication theory helps extending the horizon of communication studies in the context of national modernization.
