Abstract: Network politics is a new form of political science in the network era as it takes the network virtual space as the environment, the network technology as the support, and the political science theory and practice as the foundation, and its research scope is to analyze the possible influence of social phenomena caused by network technology on the political development. Politics limits the research scope for the development and construction of network politics while network technology and its virtual political space infuse network politics and politics with similarities and differences in some research contents. In other words, in terms of the research of state science, the distribution of public power and its authoritative value, the research of political relations, the research of public affairs and that of government and its public policy, network politics bears both similarities and differences with real politics in its corresponding fields. The difference in their research category is the necessity of the construction of network politics: network virtual political space serves as the ecological environment, and the technical construction of network virtual political ecology on both the concept and practice as the necessity. The former includes network political psychology, network ideology and network political value, and the latter covers network political participation, network political system and network political governance. As the technical construction of concept and practice is related to the macro and micro, abstract and concrete categories of the research of network politics, the research of network politics should be adjusted with the innovation of network technology, so as to promote the development of practice with concept construction, thus promoting the continuous improvement of network political life.

Key words: network politics, network technology, the network virtual space, virtual political space, build
