摘要
越来越多的文献探讨了非洲城市正在进行的以国家为主导、以出口为导向的快速工业化对一系列发展问题的影响,如劳资关系、价值链发展、性别关系以及中国对基础设施发展的参与。本研究重点关注非洲快速工业化的另一个重要影响--城市-工业一体化,但这一问题尚未得到充分探讨。近期研究非洲城市与工业发展互动关系的学者指出,由于缺乏政策整合(PI),在两者之间出现了一些挑战。然而,这些文献并没有论述为什么会出现政策领域之间的脱节,或者为什么这种脱节会持续存在。基于对城市-工业领域主要政策参与者进行的百余次定性访谈的主题分析,我认为非洲城市-工业联系中的政策分裂是由 "专制集权 "进程驱动的,这种进程为政策整合(更具体地说是概念整合、政策协调和基础设施整合)创造了不利的政治条件。本研究阐述了专制集权与生产性投资之间的关系,并讨论了专制主义如何影响城市政策、规划和发展,以及如何将其纳入工业和经济发展战略。本文为有关非洲发展型专制国家城市工业化政治的新兴文献做出了贡献。 本文以 CC BY 许可的开放获取方式发表:https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0 。
The politics of Africa’s urban–industrialisation: authoritarian centralisation and policy integration
A growing body of literature addresses the implications of the ongoing rapid state-led, export-oriented industrialisation in African cities for a range of development concerns – e.g. labour relations, value chain development, gender relations and China’s involvement in infrastructural development. This study focuses on another important implication of Africa’s rapid industrialisation that has not been sufficiently explored – urban–industrial integration. Recent scholarship that looks at the interaction of urban and industrial development in Africa identifies challenges emerging at the nexus caused by lack of policy integration (PI). However, this literature does not address why this disconnect between the policy spheres arises or why it continues to persist.
Based on thematic analysis of over a hundred qualitative interviews with key policy actors in the urban–industrial sphere, I argue policy fragmentation in the African urban–industrial nexus is driven by processes of ‘authoritarian centralisation’ that foster adverse political conditions for PI – more specifically conceptual integration, policy coordination and infrastructural integration. The study illustrates the relationship between authoritarian centralisation and PI and discusses the ways in which authoritarianism has shaped urban policy, planning and development and its integration into industrial and economic development strategies. The paper contributes to the nascent literature on the politics of urban–industrialisation in a broader range of developmental authoritarian African states.
