基于对无锡市和河埒乡经济改革长达30年的微观研究,文章指出通过政治城市化(political urbanization)的发展道路,无锡实现了快速的经济增长,但是也在社会、环境以及政治方面付出了代价。本文追溯了该地区改革所历经的三个阶段,在这期间无论是国内生产总值还是家庭收入都实现了惊人的增长,但是之后的发展否定了该地区在改革初期所取得的成就。本文提出只有行政部门开启真正的草根民主,当地人才能够有权决定影响他们自身的事务。 Based on a 30-year micro-study of the economic reforms in Wuxi and Hejian Townships, the article points out that Wuxi has achieved rapid economic growth through political urbanization, but has also paid its social, environmental and political contributions The price. This article traces the three phases of the reform that have taken place in the region during which both the GDP and household income have achieved spectacular growth but subsequent developments have denied the region’s achievements in the early stages of the reform. This paper argues that only when the executive branch opens up genuine grassroots democracy can local people have the right to decide on the issues that affect their own affairs.
