本文考察了北京中产阶层住宅小区中导致私有财产保护集体冲突的利益结构。脱离以工作单位为主导的社会格局意味着工作和居住现在已经脱钩，新的私人住宅区创造了消费者社区，而不是生产者社区。个人地位是在当地社会化模式的背景下形成的，在邻里中至少和在工作场所中一样。基于2002年和2003年对北京居民区的实地调查，本文强调了空间因素在决定集体利益形成中的重要性，并认为封闭式社区的封闭居住空间既为集体资源的自主动员提供了催化剂，也为中国国家治理日益复杂的社会提供了新的社会单元。
This article investigates the interest structure that leads to collective conflicts over the protection of private property in middle-class residential compounds in Beijing. The departure from a work-unit dominated social landscape means that work and residence are now de-linked and the new private residential compounds create communities of consumers, not of producers. Individual status is formed in the context of local socialization patterns in the neighbourhoods at least as much as in the workplace. Based on fieldwork in Beijing's residential compounds in 2002 and 2003, this article highlights the importance of spatial factors in determining the formation of collective interests and argues that the enclosed residential spaces of the gated communities are providing both a catalyst for the autonomous mobilization of collective resources and new social units for the Chinese state to govern an increasingly complex society.
