从统计和绘图到工程和医学，技术长期以来一直是一种治理工具，塑造了民族国家如何控制自己和其他地区的人口和自然资源。最近，一个国家培养公民成为技术创新者和企业家的能力被认为是其经济繁荣和全球实力的指标。我们展示了这种向创新和创业的转变是技术和政治精英如何修补新的治理模式并从经济角度定义国家未来与公民之间关系的核心。从美国，中国和非洲的长期多地点民族志研究中，我们提出了一个研究结果的子集，以显示这些治理转变是如何通过政治家和技术专家之间的相互联系以及他们资助和创造的产品，空间和教育理想来实现的。我们认为，这些转变的意义上的治理是至关重要的，当前和未来的CSCW奖学金，因为它们与社会计算的权力问题相交。
From statistics and mapping to engineering and medicine, technology has long been a tool of governance, shaping how nation states control their own and other regions' populations and natural resources. More recently, a nation's capacity to cultivate citizens as tech innovators and entrepreneurs is considered an indicator of its economic prosperity and global power. We show how this turn towards innovation and entrepreneurship is central to how technological and political elites tinker with new modes of governance and define the relationship between the future of the nation and its citizenry in economic terms. Drawing from long-term multi-sited ethnographic research in the United States, China, and Africa, we present a subset of findings to show how these shifts in governance are being enacted through interconnections between politicians and technologists, and the products, spaces, and educational ideals they fund and create. We argue that making sense of these shifts in governance is essential for current and future CSCW scholarship as they intersect with issues of power within social computing.
