准公民社区:基层政权与市民组织的博弈

The Quasi-Civic Community:The Game between Grassroots Regimes and Civil Society Organizations

社区层面的公共物品和公共服务的有效供给构成了社区治理的基本目标,社区的善治,依赖于基层政府—非政府组织—社区居民多元主体间的积极互动和有效协调。社区治理的有效性以及社区社会资本的培育,已经成为社区治理研究的主要议题。《准公民社区——国家、关系网络与城市基层治理》一书,从基层政权与市民组织角度出发,探讨二者在社区治理中的角色及博弈关系,进而提出'准公民社区'的理论模型来回应和解释当前社区治理存在的实践模式。一方面,基层政权的政府部门性质以及功利性的政绩评估体系,导致'地方形象促进联盟'的形成;另一方面,基于关系网络存在的市民组织,通过'踩线抗争'的方式抵制基层政权的操控,却又面临着市民组织自身派系冲突的难题。

Adequate provision of public goods and public services at the community level constitutes a fundamental goal of community governance. Good community governance relies on active interactions and effective coordination among grassroots governments,NGOs, and community residents. The effectiveness of community governance and the cultivation of community social capital have become a significant topic in research on community governance. The book "The Quasi-Civic Community-State, Guanxi Networks, and Local Governance in Urban China" discusses the role and relationship between grassroots government and civil-society organizations. It then proposes a theoretical model of " quasicivic communities" to explain current practicesin community governance. On the one hand, the nature of government departments at the grassroots levels and the functional performance of the evaluation system have led to the formation of " local image-facilitating alliances ". On the other hand, civil society organizations based on guanxi networks resist manipulation by grassroots political power by " cycling on the line," but they also face dilemmasdue to citizen interests and factional conflicts.
