现有的研究表明,外援和自然资源租金等外部资金来源使国家能够独立于社会产生收入,从而抑制了它们与公民建立密切联系的积极性,并严重质疑社会契约的概念。在尼日利亚的商业首都拉各斯,一系列个人所得税改革使得纳税人的合规程度有所提高。考虑到拉各斯人对他们与州政府关系的看法,本研究考察了国家是否必须通过与公民建立更密切的关系来“赚取”收入,以及公民是否通过更大的纳税意愿来回应。它探讨了公民如何理解这种关系,他们认为自己要履行什么角色,以及他们对国家-社会关系的未来有什么期望。该研究表明,通过将税收与服务提供明显联系起来的努力,拉各斯州与其公民之间正在形成一种社会契约,但这种关系在不同群体之间是不同的,因为它是由先前存在的公共组织概念和政治参与模式形成的。
Existing research suggests that external sources of finance, such as foreign aid and natural resource rents, allow states to generate revenue independently of their societies, disincentivizing them from forming close links with their citizens and severely problematizing the notion of a social contract. In Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, a series of personal income tax reforms have seen an increase in taxpayer compliance. Considering Lagosians’ perceptions of their relation with the state government, this study examines whether the state had to ‘earn’ its revenue by developing a closer relationship with its citizens, and whether citizens responded through a greater willingness to pay tax. It explores how citizens understand this relationship, what role they perceive themselves to fulfil, and what their expectations are for the future of state–society relations. The study shows how, through efforts to visibly link tax to service delivery, a social contract is emerging between Lagos State and its citizens — but that this relationship differs among groups, in that it is shaped by pre‐existing concepts of public organization and modes of political engagement.
