Compulsory "ujamaa" villages in Tanzania, collectivization in Russia, Le Corbusier's urban planning theory realized in Brasilia, the Great Leap Forward in China, agricultural "modernization" in the Tropics - the 20th century has been racked by grand utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? In this wide-ranging book, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not, and cannot be, fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge. The author builds a case against "development theory" and imperialistic state planning that disregards the values, desires and objections of its subjects.
He identifies and discusses four conditions common to all planning disasters: administrative ordering of nature and society by the state; a "high-modernist ideology" that places confidence in the ability of human life; a willingness to use authoritarian state power to effect large-scale interventions; and a prostate civil society that cannot effectively resist such plans.
James C. Scott is the Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Anthropology at Yale University and current president of the Association of Asian Studies. He is the author of Weapons of the Weak: Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance, Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts, and The Moral Economy of the Peasant: Rebellion and Subsistence in Southeast Asia, all published by Yale University Press.

评分非常渴望了解的话题,可是书却让人非常看不下去。。。
一本厚书,除非专门研究者,否则很难读完。导言基本涵盖了文章内容,但行文和翻译比较绕口。我就按照中国读者习惯的方式,对导言进行了再次压缩,有引用原文的,有按照我自己的理解重新编写过的,应该没有改变原意。 这是一个知识上的迂回旅行,我本来要去一个地方,结果顺着...
评分这本书其实我很早就买了,一直搁着没有阅读,主要是基于三个原因:一方面,政治社会学(虽然作者认为自己是一个政治人类学家,他的很多作品确实是非常经典的政治人类学探讨,但我始终认为这是一部政治社会学作品,甚至社会学的痕迹都值得商榷)毕竟是我的“副业”;另一方面,...
评分先从从林业、赋税、土地制度、度量衡、姓氏、城市规划、革命、集体农业的具体案例谈大型规划中的极端现代主义,然后回到认识论谈地方性知识/实践知识。 如书名所说,确实是“国家的视角”,主要从剖析规划者为什么以及如何执迷于清晰化和规整化,但Scott其实也有讲不少来自“规...
评分读斯科特《国家的视角》一书,特别是将这本书翻译出来以后,觉得有很多话想说,但是犹豫了很久,因为一直没有理清思路,怕话说不清楚,也就一直没有说。其实最开始吸引我的是这本书的副标题《那些试图改善人类状况的项目是如何失败的》,因为这个副标题至少在两个方面引起了我...
评分【摘要】斯科特在《国家的视角》中呈现了现代科学与理性主义哲学所构成的“现代知识”与不断强化自身权力的“现代国家”的共谋促成了“极端现代主义”计划的制订与实施。然而,简单化和清晰化的“国家的视角”无法真正认清社会的本来面目,从而导致计划的最终失败。此外,“极...
