Toward the Political Economy of Plural Policing: Taking Stock of a Burgeoning Literature
International Studies Review ( IF 3.1 ) Pub Date : 2016-12-29 , DOI: 10.1093/isr/viw042
Fabio Scarpello

In the past two decades, a burgeoning plural policing literature has refocused the attention on the plurality of sponsors and providers that populate policing landscapes throughout the world. This article coheres and advances this research agenda in two ways. It provides the first critical examination of its conceptual and theoretical achievements, while also highlighting important gaps that remain in explaining how struggles over the political economy affect plural policing and vice versa. This requires applying political economy questions about power and resources to policing—“how,” by “whom,” and especially for “whose” benefit policing is delivered—and conceptualizing policing as one aspect of state–society relations. The article further elucidates strengths and weaknesses of the plural policing literature in a case study of Indonesia’s contemporary plural policing landscape. The importance of plural policing goes beyond academic endeavor. Indeed, plural policing is ubiquitous throughout the world and affects how security is provided, and power exercised, in most social realms whether at local, national or international level. It is thus a phenomenon difficult to ignore for comparative politics, IR scholars, and policymakers alike.

走向多元警务的政治经济学:对新兴文献的盘点

在过去的二十年中,新兴的多元化警务文献将注意力重新集中在遍布全球警务领域的多元化赞助商和提供者上。本文以两种方式凝聚并推进了这一研究议程。它对其概念和理论成就进行了第一次批判性审查,同时还强调了在解释政治经济斗争如何影响多元警务以及反之亦然方面存在的重要差距。这需要将有关权力和资源的政治经济学问题应用于警务——“如何”、“由谁”,尤其是“谁”的利益,警务是交付的——并将警务概念化为国家-社会关系的一个方面。本文通过对印度尼西亚当代多元警务格局的案例研究,进一步阐明了多元警务文献的优势和劣势。多元警务的重要性超越了学术努力。事实上,多元化警务在世界各地无处不在,并影响在大多数社会领域,无论是在地方、国家还是国际层面,如何提供安全和行使权力。因此,对于比较政治学、国际关系学者和政策制定者来说,这是一个难以忽视的现象。
