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.

評分 評分先从从林业、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...
評分 評分据说对技术的批评从老子就开始了,前卫的老子成为了两千年后与海德格尔遥相呼应的素心人,而中间这段浩浩荡荡的时间光谱里,只要你想得出,尽可以把姓氏字母从A到Z的人塞进去。不信?18世纪以来,仅举以B开头的——以赛亚•伯林(Isaiah Berlin),齐格蒙特•鲍曼(Zygmunt...
