管理顾问参与当代城市政策制定的情况说明了专家如何发挥政治影响力。在柏林,麦肯锡咨询公司在制定经济和社会问题战略方面发挥了特别重要的作用。我们从两个不同的角度研究了其参与的两个实例:柏林2020,麦肯锡的一项无偿研究,为更强的经济活力提供建议,提供了关于咨询公司如何通过稳定经济增长作为城市发展关键目标的共识,将自己确立为城市决策的强大参与者的见解;议会关于麦肯锡支持伦敦金融城一体化计划的辩论,揭示了私人和公共关系网的加强以及他们的政治立场。这两个例子进行了彻底的分析,应用文献的方法。创业专家的政治影响力表明了新自由主义、市场监管、城市危机和对快速政策的需求的结合。我们揭示了顾问在当代政策制定中的一般策略,并将其视为通过组织共识和网络对城市的悄悄影响。我们认为,专家驱动的地方决策过程是集中城市政治权力的机制,同时得到认可和质疑。
The involvement of management consultants in contemporary urban policymaking exemplifies how experts exercise political influence. In Berlin, the McKinsey consultancy has gained a particularly powerful role in shaping strategies in economic, but also social, issues. We examine two instances of its involvement from two different angles: Berlin 2020, a pro bono study by McKinsey that gives advice for a stronger economic dynamism, provides insights into how the consultancy establishes itself as a powerful actor in urban policymaking through stabilising the consensus on economic growth as a key goal for urban development; and the parliamentary debates on McKinsey’s support for the city’s integration plans reveal both intensified personal private–public networks and their political contestation. Both examples are thoroughly analysed by applying the documentary method. The entrepreneurial experts’ political influence indicates a combination of neoliberalisation, market regulation, urban crises, and a demand for fast policies. We expose consultants’ general tactics in contemporary policymaking and conceive these as a creeping expert influence on cities through organising consensuses and networks. We identify the processes of expert-driven local decision-making as mechanisms of concentrating urban political powers that are simultaneously endorsed and contested.
