Abstract

Previous studies have overlooked how partnerships between public and private actors (PPPs) play out as an effect of cultural and historical conditions in the context of a smart city. Our analysis investigates the peculiar context of Japan, where smart city initiatives stem from a historically and culturally embedded “partnership” between government and businesses. Unlike other smart city settings, the adoption of a neoliberal logic of an all-embracing market world by prioritizing business interests over other civic issues is not inevitable. This paper contributes to the literature on PPPs and smart cities by presenting the case of a partnership between public and private actors that overcomes the antagonistic and transactional relationship problematized in previous studies. We demonstrate that the workings of PPPs are historically and culturally embedded. Thus, we caution policy-makers against adopting a universal framework for partnerships in smart city initiatives. In the case of Japan, we advocate for long term orientations of projects instead of the short-term goals espoused by smart city initiatives.
智慧城市中的公私合作:日本的一个奇怪案例
先前的研究忽略了公共和私人行为者(PPP)之间的伙伴关系如何在智能城市的背景下发挥文化和历史条件的影响。我们的分析调查了日本的特殊背景,在日本,智能城市倡议源于政府和企业之间的历史和文化“伙伴关系”。与其他智能城市环境不同,通过将商业利益置于其他公民问题之上,采用包罗万象的市场世界的新自由主义逻辑并非不可避免。本文通过介绍公共和私人行为者之间的伙伴关系,克服了先前研究中存在的对立和交易关系问题,为PPP和智能城市的文献做出了贡献。我们证明,公私伙伴关系的运作具有历史和文化底蕴。因此,我们提醒决策者不要在智能城市倡议中采用普遍的伙伴关系框架。就日本而言,我们提倡项目的长期方向,而不是智能城市倡议所支持的短期目标。
