Scholars call for “adaptive governance” to balance concern about technology uncertainty with the need for innovation in the governance of emerging technologies. Yet, empirical assessment of such governance systems remains sparse. Do the actors interested in the potential regulation of an emerging technology focus on their own interests and opportunities, or do they think in terms of the collective interest? We focus on the actors who embed such systems from a novel landscape perspective that combines two dimensions of governance: the nature of the regulatory target, and the nature of the process they advocate for governing the target. We present data from over 70 actors in the area of cryptocurrencies for evaluating this new logic.

新兴技术的治理格局：以加密货币为例

学者呼吁“适应性治理”，以平衡对技术不确定性的担忧与新兴技术治理创新的需求。然而，对此类治理系统的实证评估仍然很少。对新兴技术的潜在监管感兴趣的参与者是关注自己的利益和机会，还是从集体利益的角度考虑？我们从结合治理的两个维度的新景观角度关注嵌入此类系统的参与者：监管目标的性质，以及他们倡导的治理目标的过程的性质。我们提供了来自加密货币领域 70 多个参与者的数据，以评估这种新逻辑。
