摘要

2018年11月，亚马逊宣布他们选择皇后区长岛市(LIC)作为第二个总部的两个地点之一。考虑到白思豪市长和科莫州长都对拟议中的协议表示了口头支持，当然也有人批评和组织起来反对该协议，但大多数纽约人都认为该协议会得到实施。然后，令人惊讶的是，2019年2月14日，亚马逊宣布退出这笔交易，决定不加入LIC。本文以亚马逊和皇后区西部的其他大型开发项目为例，讨论了工人阶级社区中地方经济发展(LED)的冲突和往往混乱的政治。它认为，城市研究对工人阶级组织如何以及为什么参与LED政治关注太少;并经常因此影响LED的制定政策。

Working-Class Institutions, Amazon and The Politics of Local Economic Development in Western Queens

In November 2018 Amazon announced that they had selected Long Island City, Queens (LIC) as one of two locations for their second headquarters. While there had certainly been criticism and organizing against the proposed deal, given that it had the vocal support of both Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo, most New Yorkers had assumed that the deal would be implemented. Then, rather surprisingly, on February 14th, 2019, Amazon announced its withdrawal from the deal and its decision not to come to LIC. This article uses the case of Amazon and other large scale developments in western Queens to discuss the conflictual and often messy politics of local economic development (LED) in working class communities. It argues that urban studies pays too little attention to how and why working class organizations participate in the politics of LED; and often thereby shape the enacted policies of LED.
