“全球城市”的族群权利

Ethnic Rights in the “Global City”

城市发展史也是族群集聚的历史,在自治城市的族群叙事中,城市的蔓延是权利生长的社会性后果,族群文化权利的保障通过权利横向互换而完成;在集权城市的族群叙事中,城市无法超越国家治理的边界,族群文化权利通过国家权力纵向赋予而实现。在全球资本的作用下,族群与国家的边界互相穿越,从而形成民族国家治理与国家民族治理的交织。全球化对于城市的意义在于,成为国家公民并不是地方治理的首要选项,但是成为城市居民却是城市治理的事实起点。

The history of urban development is also the history of ethnic group gathering. In the ethnic narrative of autonomous cities, the expansion of cities is the social consequence of the growth of rights. The protection of ethnic cultural rights is accomplished through the horizontal exchange of rights. However, in the ethnic narrative of authoritarian cities, the cities cannot surpass the boundaries of state governance, ethnic culture rights are achieved through vertical empowerment of state power. Under the influence of global capital, ethnic groups and national borders cross each other, thus forming the interweaving of the nation-state governance and state-nation governance. The significance of globalization for cities is that becoming a citizen of the country is not the primary choice for local governance, however, becoming a city resident is a starting point of urban governance.
