风险社会治理与政府过程的间接化转型——以Q镇木器行业整治事件为例

The Transition of the Administration Process and Indirect Governance in Risk Society:A Case Study of Wood Industry Regulation in Township Q

随着现代化的不断深入,当前的中国社会出现了与西方国家"风险社会"相同的发展趋势。在此变化中,我们可以看到政府的双层逻辑,即中央政府在努力重塑社会总体性的同时,基层政府则致力于风险治理的责任边界划分。通过对基层政府过程的分析发现,在风险社会中,基层政府参与社会治理的逻辑逐步从直接治理转向间接治理。这种间接化过程主要体现在三个方面:对社会需求的间接响应;政策落实的间接制度;治理代理人的间接执行。基层政府过程的间接化转型,可以对转型社会中的风险形成有效的排序,转移和分配,这是转型期中国社会稳定的重要原因之一,也体现着中国社会治理激活和利用社会资源的基本形态。

Along with the modernization process,the current society in China presents a trend towards'risk society'. We can figure out two logics of governance. On the one hand,the central government aims to organize and reshape the whole society. On the other hand,the local governments are committed to set up the responsibility boundaries for risk management. Through the analysis of the behavior of local governments,this article finds that the behavior of local governments is changing from'direct governance'to'indirect governance'in risk society. The indirect governance is mainly embodied in three aspects:indirect response to social needs,policies of indirect management,and agents' indirect execution.
