互联网与业主集体抗争:一项基于定性比较分析方法的研究

The Internet and Homeowners' Collective Resistance:A qualitative comparative analysis

随着互联网的广泛应用,它在集体抗争的动员过程中的作用逐渐呈现。然而,关于互联网与集体抗争之间关系的研究还处于起步阶段,在中国都市集体抗争研究领域中更是如此。现有研究往往采用个人层面的数据进行统计分析,或者利用个案资料对两者的关系进行研究。这两种研究方法都具有内在的局限,难以系统地直接检验互联网与集体抗争事件之间的关系。本文通过定性比较分析方法(QCA),较为系统地比较了来自上海的15个案例,结果发现在线业主论坛确实有助于集体抗争事件的发生。这一发现揭示了互联网作为动员手段的巨大潜力。

With its popularity,the Internet plays an important role in mobilization process of collective resistance. However,study of the Internet's impacts on collective resistance is on its early stage. In collective resistance study of urban China,we know little about the Internet's political implications. Some existing studies test the relationship between the use of Internet and participation by individual survey data,or examine the Internet's roles in collective action by case study. Neither of them directly addressed the relationship between the Internet and collective resistance events. By qualitative comparative analysis (QCA),this study compares 15 cases in a systematic way,and find that online forum(BBS) does facilitate homeowners' collective resistance. It shows the mobilizing capacity of the Internet as a new mobilization structure.
