Chinese residential communities are places of intense governing and an arena of active political engagement between state and society. In The Government Next Door, Luigi Tomba investigates how the goals of a government consolidated in a distant authority materialize in citizens' everyday lives. Chinese neighborhoods reveal much about the changing nature of governing practices in the country. Government action is driven by the need to preserve social and political stability, but such priorities must adapt to the progressive privatization of urban residential space and an increasingly complex set of societal forces. Tomba’s vivid ethnographic accounts of neighborhood life and politics in Beijing, Shenyang, and Chengdu depict how such local "translation" of government priorities takes place.
Tomba reveals how different clusters of residential space are governed more or less intensely depending on the residents’ social status; how disgruntled communities with high unemployment are still managed with the pastoral strategies typical of the socialist tradition, while high-income neighbors are allowed greater autonomy in exchange for a greater concern for social order. Conflicts are contained by the gated structures of the neighborhoods to prevent systemic challenges to the government, and middle-class lifestyles have become exemplars of a new, responsible form of citizenship. At times of conflict and in daily interactions, the penetration of the state discourse about social stability becomes clear.
Luigi Tomba is a Senior Fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World, Australian National University. He is the author of Paradoxes of Labour Reform: Chinese Labour Theory and Practice from Socialism to the Market and coeditor of The China Journal.

評分雖然還是在「治理術」的框架內,但提齣瞭consensus這個有意義的觀點,其實是非常值得進一步深思的。事實上,在解決瞭執政閤法性的論證之後,如果能再進一步,所謂的國傢治理,實際上是一種complicity,或許未嘗不是一個大膽但有趣的推論。
評分作者試圖證明國傢在社區治理中的兩種治理術。在下崗工人社區,通過強化居委會、街道辦,國傢既提供福利又監視社會。在城市小區,國傢以住房改革吸引中産,同時以"社區自治“和”“素質”的話語(discourse)鼓勵對其他社會階層的拒斥,以此維係城市空間分隔和社會穩定。前一半Read已寫得很詳細;後一半視角雖新但可靠性存疑。誠然,社會控製不都是通過壓製性(repressive)手段實現的。但僅憑政府和中産在話語上的重疊(convergence),就認定兩者之間存在"共識"(consensus,本書語境中或可理解為“閤謀”),一切都是計劃的一部分,腦補太多。說遠一點,中國研究應該“求同”而非“求異”。比如,先看segregation和gentrification的普遍經驗,再看中國是否特彆、為何特彆。
評分第五章討論中産階級的示範性功能,材料分散,按理說作者的田野裏應該有足夠的材料,根本不需要去引用上海世博會的指導冊。也沒有什麼新意。對打破“新自由主義”的迷思有用。ps:作者似乎不喜歡使用受訪者的大段quotation。這是偏政治學的研究的一般操作還是?
評分在瞭解學術脈絡以後覺得還是寫得很好的。
