In some parts of the world, especially in Asia, governments both democratic and nondemocratic create, manage, or co-opt organizations at the most local of levels that interact with large numbers of constituents. Referred to in this project as “administrative grass-roots engagement,” this phenomenon deserves study because of the crucial role it plays in policy implementation and policing, among other important functions. Particularly intriguing is the question of how citizens look upon and interact with these organizations, whose loyalties are inherently split between state imperatives and the interests of those they claim to represent. In what ways, and under what conditions, do such organizations manage to generate substantial cooperation by constituents in the critical tasks of law enforcement and policy implementation?

520 $a This dissertation investigates the case of China's urban neighborhood organizations, called Residents' Committees, and explains observed patterns of both resistance to and cooperation with the RCs. It draws on in-depth fieldwork at ten neighborhood sites in Beijing as well as visits to six other cities, extensive interviews, and data from an original survey of more than 1,000 residents of the Chinese capital. Existing accounts of state-society relations to the Party-state, patron-clientelism, and local solidarity—provide only limited insight into RC-constituent relations. This study highlights instead the causal importance of thin but broad networks of reciprocity that committee members build with certain constituents, and the particular form of local volunteerism that they encourage. Theories of social capital and state-society synergy have focused on the ways in which social networks can promote democracy and economic development. China's neighborhood groups, however—as well as related organizations in Japan, Indonesia, and Cuba—show the double-edged nature of interpersonal ties, which can facilitate top-down administrative efforts as well as they empower non-governmental associations
