Abstract

Abstract:

Development and risks are a pair of factors embedded in coupling relations between the regional inequality and uncertainty in modern society. This article induces dialogues among Neo-Marxism geography and sociology to address the uncertainty effect in regional governance. It takes Guangzhou Yingde Enclave Park as an empirical case, with methods of semi-structural interview and context analysis, to contextualise the relations that development and risks are bonded up in urban entrepreneurialism. The results show that: ① The provincial municipal relation is essential to reflect the presence of risk alongside city regional development; ② The efficiency-risks pair is parallel to efficiency-equality pair toward regional development; ③ The provincial government exercises as securing bottom line against risks whilst providing with favoring policies, and the municipalities are striving to elevate localized accumulation agenda within territorial boundaries. In short, this article intends to conceptualize the regional uncertainty in China's context, and proposes a heuristic framework combining risk society and Neo-Marxism geography.

Key words: risk society, uncertainty, regional governance, Neo-Marxism geography, Guangzhou Yingde Enclave Park

摘要：

区域发展的机遇与风险是现代社会中影响区域空间不均衡性、不确定性的重要因素。立足新马克思主义地理学与风险社会理论的对话，分析不确定性在区域治理中的效应与影响，以广德（英德）产业园为实证案例，通过半结构访谈与文本分析法，解析城市企业家政府中发展与风险的伴随关系。结果表明：①在中国市场经济制度与科层制治理的国情背景下，省市关系是区域治理中应对风险、规避风险、善用风险的核心主体。②“效率-风险”是并行于“效率-公平”的一对影响区域发展的重要关系。③省政府在区域治理中发挥赋权城市发展并提供应对风险的托底保障功能，城市政府起到锐意发展、坚持本地空间积累优先的作用。本文通过建构风险社会的空间化分析框架，旨在将发展的不确定性引入地理学讨论，试图阐释中国语境下通过妥善应对不确定性而形成区域治理善治的原因。
