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.

断断续续看了一年多。。
评分both the objects and the subjects, both recipients and providers of the state subsidies.
评分就像一个纪录片,作者的empirical interests and descriptions 是亮点。 让我看到围绕housing property而起的社会分层(the making of citizens),社区治理与话语实践(technologies of government)的具体案例。以前从来不把政府的口号或者说是执政理念当一回事,比如和谐社会比如中国梦。读到最后的social consensus 竟然觉得作者把这些话语和现实案例的连接很在理。启发我去如何去研究抽象的socialist dream。

评分理论野心大,对城市新兴“中产阶级”的政治行动力的判断也挺到位的。但相比起来田野材料就太碎太单薄了,撑不起来那些论点。
