学者们探讨了政府如何以恢复力的名义追求的议程重新分配政府和社区之间的紧急情况的责任。在本文中，我们借鉴了对英国应对新冠肺炎的社区团体进行的两年研究，以深化这些关于在呼吁恢复力的过程中所谓“责任化”影响的辩论。反对流行的主张，等同于国家放弃在新自由主义改革的时代，我们认为，弹性也促使政府和非政府社区行为者之间的新形式的协调，本身就充满了政治复杂性，拒绝批判性的审查。经过多年的公共开支削减，政府在紧急情况下越来越多地发挥推动者的作用;协调其他行动者，而不是直接干预自己。考虑这个角色很重要，因为它通过隔离政府的活动并产生政府不作为的感觉，重塑了人们在紧急情况发生时与“政府”人物的情感接触。随着政府的混淆，社区行为者将自己对“弹性”的解释视为在没有政府支持的情况下处理紧急情况的一种方式，尽管政府一直存在。这种对成功的非国家复原力的信念，如果被用来证明未来政府主导的加速实施长期以来的削减公共服务支出政策的尝试是合理的，那么可能会产生严重的后果，从而在未来产生一些学者诊断现在的国家放弃。总体而言，本文挑战流行的概念化的重新分配的责任弹性议程下，揭示了弹性议程如何重新配置人民和政府之间的关系在危机时期，并阐述了公共应急治理的后果，如果在未来的信念在弹性作为非国家责任扩散。
Scholars have explored how governmental agendas pursued in the name of resilience redistribute the responsibility for attending to emergencies amongst governments and communities. In this paper, we draw on two years of research with community groups responding to Covid-19 in the United Kingdom to deepen these debates concerning the effects of so-called 'responsibilization' amid appeals for resilience. Against popular claims that equate resilience to state abandonment in an era of neo-liberal reform, we argue that resilience has also prompted new forms of coordination between government and non-government community actors that in themselves are fraught with political complications warranting critical scrutiny. After years of public spending cuts, the government increasingly plays an enabler role in emergencies; orchestrating other actors rather than directly intervening themselves. This role is important to consider because it reshapes people's affective encounter with the figure of ‘the government’ when emergencies happen by sequestering the government's activities and generating feelings of government inaction. With the government's obfuscation, community actors valorise their own interpretation of 'resilience' as a way to deal with emergencies without government support, despite the government's ongoing presence. This belief in successful non-state resilience could have grave consequences if it is used to justify future government-led attempts to accelerate a long-established policy of reducing expenditure on public services, thus engendering in the future the very state abandon through which some scholars diagnose the present. Overall, the paper challenges popular conceptualisations of the re-distribution of responsibility under resilience agendas, unpacks how resilience agendas reconfigure relationships between people and governments in times of crisis and elaborates on the ramifications for public emergency governance if belief in resilience as non-state responsibility proliferates in the future.
