The Social Shaping of Participatory Spaces: Evidence from Community Development in Southern Thailand
通过泰国南部案例，批判了参与式社区发展被外部控制的观点，强调社区成员如何操纵或颠覆参与过程，形成混合实践，影响地方权力结构。
Critical analysis of participatory community development has claimed that such approaches serve as a vehicle for social control and co-option by external actors. Drawing on a case study from Southern Thailand, this article argues that we need to take a less deterministic perspective, and pay more attention to the ways in which community members themselves manipulate or subvert participatory processes. The article shows how this may result in hybrid participatory practices and institutions that contain elements of both local and external interests, and which play a key role in defining the way power is constituted in local participatory spaces.
