本文以摩洛哥国家人类发展倡议为例，展示了“包容性”新自由主义地方治理改革对地方国家-社会关系和国家权力重新部署的影响。这一倡议由国王于2005年发起，旨在通过新的参与性地方治理机制改善目标贫困地区的社会经济条件。文章认为，首先，这些机制实际上有助于加强内政部任命的代表的权力，特别是在省一级，而牺牲了地方政府的利益。其次，调查结果表明，通过利用地方协会获得INDH资金，地方议员的合法性越来越多地建立在他们通过INDH与国王重新结盟的基础上，以及这种联盟允许他们维持的附庸关系，而不是建立在他们作为政治代表的地位上。这导致了地方（政治）问责制的分裂和削弱。
This contribution uses the National Initiative for Human Development in Morocco as a case study to show the effects of ‘inclusive’ neoliberal local governance reforms on local state–society relations and the redeployment of state power. This initiative, launched by the king in 2005, is designed to improve socio-economic conditions in targeted poor areas through new participatory local governance mechanisms. The article argues, first, that these mechanisms in fact serve to strengthen the power of the appointed representatives of the Ministry of the Interior, especially at the province level, at the expense of local governments. Second, the findings show that by instrumentalizing local associations to access INDH funds, local councillors base their legitimacy increasingly on their renewed alliance with the king through the INDH and the clientelist relations it allows them to maintain, rather than on their status as political representatives. This contributes to the fragmentation and weakening of local (political) accountability.
