摘要
目前,关于新加坡治理的“基层”单元存在“社区说”和“选区说”两种解读。新加坡治理的“基层”单元界定存在分歧的核心问题在于,尚未从新加坡政治与治理的不同意义上严格区分新加坡的社区和选区。辨识两种代表性解读,进而界定新加坡国家治理基层的含义,关键在于三个区分,即国家政治与政党政治、国家治理与选举政治以及居民自治与代议政治的区分。围绕这些区分,对于新加坡国家政治体制机制进行辨析和类分,可见新加坡的社区和选区在基本性质、运行方式、治理目的以及法理逻辑等方面都存在很大差异:新加坡社区是其社会治理的基本形式,同时对接国家的政权性治理,是国家治理的基层单元;选区则是新加坡运行政党政治、选举政治和代议政治的政治性基础区域,本质上并非国家治理的基础。在国家治理意义上,新加坡的基层单元应是社区。选区虽然可以解读为新加坡政党政治、选举政治和代议政治运行的基层单元,但并非国家治理的基层单元。
There are two interpretations of the grassroots units in the governance of Singapore.One interprets those as the residential communities,the other the constituencies.This paper examines and differentiates these two interpretations,arguing that the core issue underlying the divergent definitions of“grassroots”units in Singapore s governance lies in the failure to strictly distinguish between communities and constituencies in Singapore from the differing perspectives of politics and governance.The key to identifying the differences and subsequently defining the grassroots units of Singapore s national governance lies in three distinctions:those between state politics and party politics,between national governance and electoral politics,and between residential autonomous governance and representative politics.Based on that and an analysis and categorization of Singapore s political system and mechanisms,it is clear that communities and constituencies are quite different in nature,operational methods,governance objectives,and legal logic.Communities are the basic form of Singapore s social governance while also connecting with state power-based governance,functioning as the grassroots units of national governance.Constituencies,as political units for the operation of party politics,electoral politics and representative politics,are essentially not the basis of national governance.The authors conclude that the grassroots units of Singapore s national governance should be its communities.Constituencies can be understood as the grassroots units of party politics,electoral politics,and representative politics,but not the grassroots units of national governance.
