Compulsory "ujamaa" villages in Tanzania, collectivization in Russia, Le Corbusier's urban planning theory realized in Brasilia, the Great Leap Forward in China, agricultural "modernization" in the Tropics - the 20th century has been racked by grand utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? In this wide-ranging book, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not, and cannot be, fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge. The author builds a case against "development theory" and imperialistic state planning that disregards the values, desires and objections of its subjects.
He identifies and discusses four conditions common to all planning disasters: administrative ordering of nature and society by the state; a "high-modernist ideology" that places confidence in the ability of human life; a willingness to use authoritarian state power to effect large-scale interventions; and a prostate civil society that cannot effectively resist such plans.
James C. Scott is the Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Anthropology at Yale University and current president of the Association of Asian Studies. He is the author of Weapons of the Weak: Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance, Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts, and The Moral Economy of the Peasant: Rebellion and Subsistence in Southeast Asia, all published by Yale University Press.

读斯科特《国家的视角》一书,特别是将这本书翻译出来以后,觉得有很多话想说,但是犹豫了很久,因为一直没有理清思路,怕话说不清楚,也就一直没有说。其实最开始吸引我的是这本书的副标题《那些试图改善人类状况的项目是如何失败的》,因为这个副标题至少在两个方面引起了我...
评分此文为笔者大一年级就读于行政管理专业的读书笔记,其中观点多有偏颇之处,有待指正。 “国家的简单化带有地图的特点,也就是说,它们被设计出来的目的只在于精确地概括复杂世界中地图绘制者最感兴趣的那些方面,而忽略其他方面。”作者在第二部分开头的这个隐喻给我留下了极为...
评分 评分一本厚书,除非专门研究者,否则很难读完。导言基本涵盖了文章内容,但行文和翻译比较绕口。我就按照中国读者习惯的方式,对导言进行了再次压缩,有引用原文的,有按照我自己的理解重新编写过的,应该没有改变原意。 这是一个知识上的迂回旅行,我本来要去一个地方,结果顺着...
评分读《国家的视角》后 耶鲁大学的政治学和人类学教授James C.Scott的《国家的视角》一书,曾在十多年前被同事、同仁屡屡提起,彼时我还是一个NGO(公益组织)的一名专职员工,然而直到如今我才把这本书读完。读完之后,也刚好应了那句话:知识与实践刚好相结合起来。作为曾经在NG...
