Flexible Citizenship: The Cultural Logics of Transnationality

政治自由主义 = Political liberalism

When at dusk the neon lights come on in Shenzhen, China, they look from the top of its tallest building like small fires dotting a mist-shrouded landscape. The massive city of dreams lends itself to naturalistic metaphor—the eye scans skyscraper groves amid fields of striated worker housing and middle-class midrises like dragons playing, according to one interpretation, or like the undulating peaks of Guilin, interrupted by the clusters of tight, jumbled, low-growth of the so-called urban villages (chengzhongcun). Sixty-nine stories below the cityscape sparks, oozes, and shudders along rivulets of light refracted in the humidity, the inky black of Hong Kong’s New Territories across the border accentuating the lustrous Leviathan that is Shenzhen. It all fuses together in urban rhythm and meter,remindingmeofadescriptionIencounteredinagovernment-issuedcoffeetable book about Shenzhen’s Central Business District: “Construction is a poem, written by poets, who wrote them with steel and cement” (Shenzhen Municipal Government 2005a:14). A hoary slogan, but with echoes of early 20th‐century fascinations with urbanization and form, from Russian constructivists to Bauhaus.

Learning from Shenzhen: China’s Post-Mao Experiment from Special Zone to Model City

This article examines the co-evolution of interactive technology and non-governmental organizations in Eastern Europe. It addresses, on the one side, the emergence of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as actors who exhibit new organizational topographies and, on the other side, the emergence of the Internet and related interactive technologies that not only provide a new medium of representation in a virtual public sphere but also make possible fundamental changes in the character of organization. We explore how organizations of civil society can be a source of organizational and technological innovation necessary for their societies’ ongoing adaptability in a rapidly changing global economy. As such, NGOs can use new technologies within and beyond their existing roles as safety nets (to mitigate the new social problems of emerging market economies) and as safety valves (to give voice to social groups underrepresented in the newly competitive polities) to function as social entrepreneurs exploring new organizational forms as ongoing sources of innovation.
