One would be hard-pressed nowadays to find any practitioners and scholars in the field of post-disaster reconstruction who would argue against the virtues of community participation. In practice, however, the legacy of community participation has been mixed. This paper pursues this line of inquiry by examining the manifestations of participation in three communities affected by Typhoon Haiyan that struck the Philippines on 8 November 2013. The findings suggest that different governance logics emerge in each of the three case studies: authoritarian; communitarian; and deliberative. These logics promote particular understandings of who should participate in the reconstruction process and the appropriate scope of action for citizens to express discontent, provide feedback, and perform democratic agency. The paper contends that design interventions in participatory procedures, as well as contingencies in wider social contexts, shape the character and legacies of community participation. It concludes by comparing the legacies of these three 'governance enclaves' and imagining possibilities for participatory politics in post-disaster settings.
如今，很难找到任何从事灾后重建领域的从业者和学者会反对社区参与的优点。然而，实际上，社区参与的遗留问题好坏参半。本文通过考察 2013 年 11 月 8 日袭击菲律宾的台风“海燕”影响的三个社区的参与表现，探讨了这一问题。研究结果表明，在三个案例研究中，出现了不同的治理逻辑：威权主义、社群主义和审议式。这些逻辑促进了对谁应该参与重建过程以及公民表达不满、提供反馈和行使民主权力的适当范围的不同理解。本文认为，参与程序的设计干预以及更广泛社会背景下的偶然因素，塑造了社区参与的特点和遗留问题。最后，本文通过比较这三个“治理飞地”的遗留问题，设想了灾后环境中参与式政治的可能性。
