Abstract

This qualitative study examines how administrative traditions and governance in two cities, New York City and Helsinki, have affected the interplay of public administration, the private sector, and citizens in climate change adaptation. The results show that both cities aim for an increased state‐market‐civil society interaction. However, their efforts have different points of departure and follow different trajectories. New York City's administration is within the Anglo‐American tradition of state‐market dualism, while the state‐market‐civil society interaction for adaptation is coordinated by newly created administrative organizations. This interaction has to be accommodated to the strong reliance on market mechanisms. Helsinki's administration has its roots in the welfare state administration with a strong role of the public administration. Increased state‐market‐civil society interaction results in a reduced influence of the public sector and the reliance on ad hoc projects and informal modes of cross‐sectoral cooperation. 行政传统和治理对城市气候变化适应中的私人介入产生的影响 本定性研究检验了纽约和赫尔辛基这两个城市中行政传统和治理如何影响了公共行政、私人部门和公民在气候变化适应中的互动。研究结果表明, 这两个城市都致力增加国家‐市场‐市民(state‐market‐civil)之间的社会互动。然而, 它们为此所做的努力源自不同的出发点, 并朝着不同的轨迹发展。纽约市的行政处于英美国家‐市场二元论传统之中, 然而国家‐市场‐市民在(气候变化)适应上的社会互动由新创立的行政机构进行协调。这种互动不得不适应对市场机制的强烈依赖。赫尔辛基的行政源于福利国家行政, 其扮演着公共行政这一强大角色。当国家‐市场‐市民间的社会互动增加时, 会减少公共部门的影响力, 同时减少对临时项目和跨部门合作的非正式模式的依赖。 La Influencia De Las Tradiciones Administrativas y La Gobernanza En La Participación Pública Durante La Adaptación Al Cambio Climático En Ámbitos Urbanos Este estudio cualitativo examina cómo las tradiciones administrativas y la gobernanza (en dos ciudades: Nueva York y Helsinki) han afectado la interacción entre la administración pública, el sector privado y los ciudadanos durante la adaptación al cambio climático. Los resultados muestran que ambas ciudades buscan una mayor interacción entre el estado, el mercado y la sociedad civil. Sin embargo, sus esfuerzos tienen diferentes puntos de partida y siguen trayectorias distintas. La administración de la ciudad de Nueva York pertenece a la tradición angloamericana de la dualidad entre estado y mercado, mientras que la interacción para la adaptación entre estado, mercado y sociedad civil está coordinada por organizaciones administrativas creadas recientemente. Esta interacción tiene que acomodarse a la fuerte dependencia a los mecanismos del mercado. La administración tiene sus raíces en el estado de bienestar con un papel importante de la administración pública. Una interacción incrementada entre el estado, el mercado y la sociedad civil resulta en una influencia reducida del sector público y la dependencia de los proyectos ad hoc y modelos informales de cooperación entre culturas.
