Mobility Turn in Policy Transfer Research：From State-Centric to Comparative Urban Approach

随着全球化的深入，日益频繁的城市间跨国政策转移正深刻地改变着全球城市的治理模式，将地方治理机制连接至全球城市政策共同体。城市在其中贡献并吸收各类治理方案，成为全球治理体系中最活跃的参与者与推动者。然而，传统的政策转移研究框架具有国家中心主义特征，因而未能为这些现象提供一个比较城市的分析视角。因此，有学者提出了聚焦于城市的政策流动概念，强调从跨学科视角关注城市政策跨国流动过程中的全球关系及空间—社会建构，从而推动了政策转移研究的流动性转向。本文从背景、理论基础以及现实关照三个方面对政策流动框架进行了梳理，并试图提出这一框架下未来的研究议题，以期推动国内比较城市政策的研究，促进政策研究的跨学科对话。

In the age of globalization, frequent inter-urban policy transfer profoundly transforms the urban governance by connecting local policy regimes to the global urban policy community. Cities have become the most active participants in the global governance system, absorbing and contributing to different models of best practices. However, the traditional policy transfer research is marked by a state-centered approach, which lacks a comparative urban framework to conceptualize the precise process. In light of this deficiency, scholars coined a new term “policy mobility” to account for the inter-urban policy transfer from a multidisciplinary perspective. Policy mobility framework also directs the attention to the global-relational and socio-spatial construction along the process of policy transfer. This paper reviews the origin, theoretical basis and practical significance of the mobility turn. It also proposes future research projects, with the hope to contribute to comparative urban study and the multidisciplinary conversation in policy study in China.
