摘要：

在项目进村过程中,"新代理人"成为描述当前村治主体角色性质的核心概念。契合当前项目进村要求,进而满足村庄社会项目诉求是"新代理人"形成的权威基础。在基层政府"悬浮"的背景下,村治主体的谋利冲动与村庄社会的项目诉求相互交织,村庄中交际能力强、关系网络广且关系重心和利益空间在村庄之外的部分村民登上村庄政治舞台。"新代理人"的治理实践表现出一种利益治理的逻辑,这实质上是后税费时代基层治理困境的延续。在村庄社会增量逻辑的主导下,以"新代理人"为核心要素的村庄权力结构呈现固化态势。"新代理人"与传统代理人在权威来源、精英替代逻辑、治理机制和治理绩效等方面存在显著不同,这也凸显出"新代理人"概念所蕴含的学术价值和现实意义。"新代理人"脱离于国家和乡村社会的双重规制,是基层治理研究的一个新议题。

Abstract:

Projects to Villages (xiangmu jincun) is an important way for the Chinese government to distribute resources to grassroots villages and it has gained popularity in recent years. "Projects to Villages" has brought changes to the village governance body-village cadres, described in this study as "Neo-Agents." The term explains a newly emerged grassroots power base that was created by the government's "Projects to Villages" initiatives. With the intense competition for projects among villages, people with the right political and personal skills, broad networks and less vested interest in village are able to step onto the political stage and gain power. Contrary to the essential need of developing a long-term effective rural leadership, these "Neo-Agents" practice a type of short-term interest-focused governance. They do not provide a solution to the governance quandary experienced in villages since the rural taxation reform in 2002, instead, with the availability of state resources, they help further consolidate the existing village power structure. The study also compares "Neo-Agents" with traditional power agents of gentry, local elites and government officials. Four aspects of foundation of authority, mechanism of power transfer, structure of governance, and effectiveness of governance are discussed in hope to stimulate further academic and practical interest in the subject.

Key words: "Projects to Villages", rural village governance, elite alternative, "Neo-Agent"
