ABSTRACT

Social movement-initiated co-production has been increasingly described as an approach that enables urban poor communities in the South to gain wider access to urban governance. However, with a predominant focus on project-level interventions, the case studies in which movements truly affect governance matters in a metro scale are rare. One of the examples involving such an achievement is the activism of civil society organisations and urban poor groups in Metro Manila, Philippines, which have succeeded to have a major impact on the housing and resettlement programme; the Oplan LIKAS. This article analyses how the civil society was able to gain such a position and the way it utilised it. The documentation of the challenges experienced by the civil society reflects the nature of co-productive engagement in the South and shows that it may easily reach its limits in an exclusionary governance setting.

摘要

由社会运动发起的联合生产已被越来越多地描述为一种使南方城市贫困社区能够更广泛地获得城市治理的途径。但是，由于主要关注项目级别的干预，所以很少有人能真正了解地铁范围内的运动真正影响治理问题的案例研究。取得这一成就的例子之一是菲律宾马尼拉大都会的民间社会组织和城市贫困群体的积极行动，这些行动已成功地对住房和安置方案产生了重大影响；奥普兰LIKAS。本文分析了民间社会如何获得这种地位及其利用方式。
