Politics of Policing and Social Order under Regulation: An Interpretive Framework of Police Operational Mechanism in Contemporary China

当代中国的政治社会秩序问题和“稳定的奇迹”激发了学界对国家强制机构的浓厚兴趣。然而，中国警务运行机理的“黑箱”尚未完全打开。针对五个公安部门的访谈表明：执政党对中国式警务的政治属性并不隐晦。社会治安的政治定位使公安部门的地位、编制和经费获得相对倾斜。公安部门则通过动员、整合和渗透等组织技术以及户籍与分类管理、信息技术与网格化管理、目标责任制等技术治理机制支撑“调控中的社会秩序”，以回应社会稳定挑战。如是，以“治安的政治定位”和“调控中的社会秩序”为核心的警务运行机理塑造了“中国特色的平安之路”。

The social and political orders in contemporary China and the “miracle of security” have aroused intense interest on state coercive institutions. However, the black box of police operational mechanisms has yet to be thoroughly examined. Fieldwork with five public security bureaus indicates that the CPC has no intention to conceal the political attribute of Chinese-style policing. Thanks to the politics of policing, public security gained a priority of status, bianzhi and financial distribution. Responding to challenges, public security departments resort to organizational techniques of mobilization, integration and infiltration. In addition, technical governance mechanisms, including household registery and classified management, intelligence policing and target responsibility system, construct “the social order under regulation”. In this way, the politics of policing and “the social order under regulation” have shaped a security road with Chinese characteristics.
