From “Government-Society Cooperation”to “Mutual-embedded Co-governance”:Practice and Reflection of the Transformation of Community Governance Structure in Wuxi

对国家一社会间此消彼长关系的理论预设与国家一社会间互嵌共生的经验事实之间往往存在一种内在的冲突。与西方国家一社会关系理论视域下的“政社合作”相比，当代中国基层社会治理结构转型中的国家一社会关系是否也必然存在此消彼长的变动？亦或形成了新的关系形态？基于无锡市社区治理创新的实践经验，考察了基层社会治理转型中国家一社会的关系特征。地方实践中的国家一社会关系并未像西方理论表述的那样截然分离并形构此消彼长的力学关系，而是在互动中复杂勾连。二者相互形塑、相互嵌入、相互赋予发展动力，由此迈向了一种与“政社合作”不同的社区治理形态——“互嵌式共治”。

On theoretical level, the state - society relationship is based on the assumption that there ex- ists a contradictory tension between state and society. While on practical level, the state - society rela- tionship is tend to be mutual - embedded realistically. Reflecting on ＂Government - Society Coopera- tion＂ under the horizon of Western state - society relationship theory, is the state - society relation doom to be contradictory and reciprocal？ Or is there other relation form between state and society in Chinese local governance practice？ Based on the practical experience of Wuxi, this article examines the characteristics of grass - root state - society relation. In the theoretical construction way, this arti-cle argues that the state -society relation is not contradictory and reciprocal in community governance practice of Wuxi. Contrary to Western theoretical expression, the state - society relation in community governance transformation is correlative with complexity. They shape each other, mutually embed and endow mutual development motivation. Thus community governance is moving towards ＂Mutual -em- bedded Co- governance＂ model, which is different from ＂Government- Society Cooperation＂.
