Rethinking the state in urban outcasts
批评Wacquant关于国家在城市边缘化中作用的观点过时,认为应关注政府、企业、非政府组织等多方参与的治理过程,并呼吁更多实证研究。
Wacquant’s treatment of the state’s role in producing urban marginality rests on outdated assumptions about a centralised state operating uniformly across one nation’s urban territories. More than a decade’s worth of urban scholarship focuses on a process more productively labelled ‘governance,’ which points to the multiplex relations among government, business, nongovernmental organisations and hybrid organisational forms in the production of urban inequality. While Wacquant gestures towards these ideas, a greater engagement with the range of extant empirical work on this subject is warranted.
