ABSTRACT

The paper presents and discusses the state post-disaster reconstruction intervention (SPDRI) of the city of L'Aquila, Italy, after the 2009 earthquake. The paper argues that SPDRIs are of great interest for the study of the state and, more in particular, of the refashioning of state actions at a time of widening spatial divides and localized crisis. It also argues that SPDRIs and other interventions can be characterized as state projects and should be studied as such at the crossroads of a variety of scientific debates also by looking at their complex relation with the political economies of the places involved. Based on these considerations, the paper looks at the evolution of the successive multi-level inter-governmental relations arrangements (IGRAs) mobilized in L'Aquila's reconstructions and to their outcomes in terms of three critical dimensions: rescaling, governance and spatial reconfiguration. Based on the evidence the paper argues that the role of the state cannot be underestimated, that the conditions for the implementation and success of state projects depend on a variety of preconditions and that a high level of state mobilization can come hand in hand with the absence of a consistent and ambitious state project.

摘要

本文介绍并讨论了意大利拉奎拉市在 2009 年地震后的国家灾后重建干预 (SPDRI)。该论文认为，SPDRI 对研究国家，尤其是在空间鸿沟和局部危机不断扩大的时期重新塑造国家行为具有重要意义。它还认为，SPDRI 和其他干预措施可以被描述为国家项目，应该在各种科学辩论的十字路口进行研究，还应该通过查看它们与所涉及地方的政治经济的复杂关系来进行研究。基于这些考虑，本文着眼于在拉奎拉动员起来的连续多层次政府间关系安排 (IGRA) 的演变。s 重建及其在三个关键维度方面的结果：重新缩放、治理和空间重新配置。基于证据，本文认为国家的作用不可低估，国家项目实施和成功的条件取决于各种先决条件，高水平的国家动员可以与缺乏这些前提条件相辅相成。一个一致和雄心勃勃的国家项目。
