Abstract:    Strengthening the comprehensive cyber governance system is a critical research focus for advancing China′s strategy of becoming a global cyber power. The year 2024 marks both the 10th anniversary of General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee Xi Jinping′s proposal of the cyber power strategy and the 30th anniversary of China′s full access to the global cyber. At this critical historical juncture, reviewing systematically the evolutionary path and theoretical logic of comprehensive cyber governance research holds significant theoretical and practical values. Based on a conceptual definition of "comprehensive cyber governance", this study made a systematic review of 507 high-quality journal papers published domestically and internationally. The findings revealed that domestic research emerged earlier and demonstrated more systematic outcomes, evolving through three distinct phases: exploratory rigid control under a legal framework, government-led collaborative regulation, and multi-stakeholder comprehensive governance. Furthermore, leveraging Parsons′ AGIL model from structural functionalism, this study constructed a research framework comprising goal attainment, integration, adaptation, and latency, synthesizing four core themes in comprehensive cyber governance research: generative logic and conceptual construction; internal mechanisms of governance actors and tools; governance models and pathway exploration; and efficacy evaluation systems. Finally, in light of governance challenges posed by digital-intelligent technologies (e.g., ChatGPT, DeepSeek), future research directions were proposed, including empirical modeling of collaborative mechanisms, dual-attribute analysis of digital-intelligent technologies, dynamic adaptation of governance pathways, and AI-driven transformation of evaluation systems. The results will contribute to advancing theoretical research on comprehensive cyber governance and provide practical insights for strengthening governance frameworks.
