Abstract: A new trend is emerging in the governance innovation of local governments.Under the political consideration of "striving for stability",specific goals are achieved by combining technocracy with campaign-style governance.Based on the theory of translational sociology put forward by Latour,this paper studies the translation action of expert systems in the process of "creating a demonstration city for drug control" in F city.It is found that translation action gives expert systems the identity of the actor,and the actor network weaved from it could realize the flow of governance resources and promote governance effectiveness,thereby forming the paradigm of technocracy campaign-style governance."Creating a drug control demonstration city" as a typical form of the paradigm of technocracy campaign-style governance is an internal transformation and external adaptation under the construction of translation actions.This new paradigm of embedding technocracy into campaign-style governance is not a simple superposition of elements,but is constructed by the action of expert systems,which integrates technology and politics in a structural way to make it match the current goal of social governance.The rationality of reality and the effectiveness of governance are the fundamental reasons for adopting this model.

Key words: campaign-style governance, technocracy, expert systems, translation action, translational sociology
