Most social science studies of local organizations tend to focus on
"civil society" associations, voluntary associations independent
from state control, whereas government-sponsored organizations tend
to be theorized in totalitarian terms as "mass organizations" or
manifestations of state corporatism. "Roots of the State" examines
neighborhood associations in Beijing and Taipei that occupy a
unique space that exists between these concepts.
Benjamin L. Read views the work of the neighborhood associations he
studies as a form of "administrative grassroots engagement." States
sponsor networks of organizations at the most local of levels, and
the networks facilitate governance and policing by building
personal relationships with members of society. Association leaders
serve as the state's designated liaisons within the neighborhood
and perform administrative duties covering a wide range of
government programs, from welfare to political surveillance. These
partly state-controlled entities also provide a range of services
to their constituents.
Neighborhood associations, as institutions initially created to
control societies, may underpin a repressive regime such as
China's, but they also can evolve to empower societies, as in
Taiwan. This book engages broad and much-discussed questions about
governance and political participation in both authoritarian and
democratic regimes.
