论文对20世纪中期以来城市政治的研究进行了系统的梳理和回顾,从机制政治的角度,对达尔在《谁治理》中提出的以选举为中心的多元主义城市政治理论,以及彼得森在《城市局限》中主张的以经济因素为主导的城市政治理论,进行了分析和批判。在此基础上论文指出,未来城市治理的安排,须挖掘民主的深层含义,借助于包容性的政策议程,动员各方的力量,以推动成功的社会改革与城市治理。

This essay reconsiders systemically theories of urban politics since middle 20th century. In perspectives of regime politics, the author criticizes pluralism urban political theory claimed in Dahl’s Who Governs to put election at the center of political process, and what Peterson contributed in his City Limits that urban politics as servant to the economic imperative. Stone argues that urban governance arrangements in the future should acknowledge that democracy involves deeper issues of inclusion included in public policy agenda. A successful social reform and urban governance depends on the ways in which state, market and civil society intersect and impinge on one another.
