摘要本文认为,英国政府的开源计划改革是建立在国家与社会关系的漫画愿景。简单的二进制部署,目前的政治权力作为一个零和游戏与“社区”的一方和国家的“官僚机构”的其他。人们很少认识到前工党政府留下的复杂的公私部门纠葛,以及“新契约主义”在塑造福利服务和资产的提供和所有权方面的力量。本文评估了工党领导下的私有化的遗产,以及合同和私人融资现在对福利国家和规划系统的治理和管理的结构性限制。它认为,作为战后解决办法基础的国家权力和问责制的主要来源正在受到侵蚀。奇怪的是,这不会将权力下放给当地社区和公民,而是造成新形式的疏远和剥夺权力。
Abstract This paper argues that the UK government's Open Source Planning reforms are founded on a caricatured vision of state–society relationships. Simple binaries are deployed that present political power as a zero-sum game with ‘communities’ on the one side and state ‘bureaucracies’ on the other. There has been little recognition of the complex public–private sector entanglements left by the previous Labour government and the power of the ‘new contractualism’ in shaping the provision and ownership of welfare services and assets. The paper assesses the legacies of privatization under Labour and the structural limits that contracts and private financing now put on the governance and management of the welfare state and the planning system. It contends that the principle sources of state power and accountability that underpinned the post-war settlement are being eroded. Paradoxically, this will not devolve power to local communities and citizens but create new forms of distancing and disempowerment.
