公众参与方式与社会转型中的“逆转型”现象——以Y市政府搬迁中的公众参与为例

以Y市政府搬迁为例，探讨了地方政府如何通过“动员式公众参与”的方法推动完成了迁市过程，也引发“社会逆转型”危机。与中国绝大多数地区经历的转型过程相反，Y市的社会转型呈现出了一种“逆转”的现象，即从以工业为主的现代社会形态向以农业生产加工为主体的农业社会转变。Y市案例提示我们，在制定公共政策方面需要实现彻底的转型，即从政治动员式公众参与向权利性公众参与的转型。这种转型的完成不仅需要公众公民意识的觉醒，更需要将社会政策、政策制定者和公众带人公共领域，实现社会学知识范式的转换。

Public Engagement and the Phenomenon of "Reverse Transformation": A Case of Public Engagement in Y Governments Relocation

This paper conducts a case study on Y government's relocation which illustrates that the local government completed the process of transfer through public engagement, resulting in a"reverse social transformation".Unlike the other places,the social transformation in Y is a reverse social transformation.The case of Y city indicates that there are mounting pressures on the government of China to implement a thorough transformation- from a politically mobilized public engagement to empowered public engagement.Such a transformation not only requires the awakening of public consciousness,but also sociological knowledge that helps to bring policy-makers and the masses together in making public policy. It also requires the transformation of sociological paradigms from professional sociology to public sociology.
