摘要
对中国城市基层治理的探讨,大多得出"强国家、弱社会"的结论,其议题亦无涉居民切身利益,无法为"强势国家"提供有力佐证。本研究以上海社区"抗非"动员为背景,观察突发事件中的国家—社会关系。调查发现,上海的"抗非"工作几乎都由国家主导,居民仅被动配合,自发参与度极其有限。在具体策略上,国家一方面透过主流媒体的调控,掌握"议题建构"渠道;另一方面则借助社区建设的配合,节制"社会参与"渠道,从而在因对突发事件的过程中,强化了国家的合法性和掌控力,构筑了"国强社弱"的制度格局。
Most of the studies on local governance in urban China conclude that the state has always been dominating the society.However,almost all of them are based on issues not directly related to the interests of the residents,therefore,unable to provide strong evidence for the existence of a dominating state.This study investigated the state-society relations in the SARS crisis,which had triggered great social fear of a threat to the residents’ lives,in the context of how urban communities in Shanghai dealt with that crisis.We found that the "combat against SARS" in Shanghai was virtually under the control of the state,with the residents playing only a passive,cooperative role.Their initiative participation was very limited.In tactics,the state controlled the channel for "theme construction" through regulating the main media on one hand,and restricted the channel for "sociopolitical participation" with the assistance from community construction on the other hand,the result of which was the state’s legitimacy and controlling power being reinforced and the institutional structure of "a strong state,a weak society" being established in the process of dealing with a crisis.
