摘要
现代民族国家的产生及其国界线的形成并没有阻断国界线两侧边民之间的经济社会交往,边民互市就是其中的一种重要方式。在中老边境地区,边民互市有效地促进了边境地区的经济社会发展,但依然存在大量边民从边境非设关便道越过国界线从事边民互市及其市场秩序混乱的问题。然而,这种相对于国家边民互市管理规范而言处于混沌状态的边民互市却充满了活力,这与其内含着符合当地社会规范的隐秩序有关。这种混沌与有序之间的张力表明:国家边界既是阻隔的也是沟通的,阻隔那些危害国家安全和国民权益的非法人员与活动,沟通那些有益于区域发展和国民利益的合作与交流。同时,混沌的边民互市并不意味着国家管理的缺位,也并非是“悬置”国家边界管理规范之下的“例外状态”,而是一种国家边界管理的恒常状态。
The emergence of modern nation states and national borders does not mean an end to interactions between residents on both sides of the border.Barter trade between border residents(BT⁃BR)is an important form of such interactions.On the Sino-Laotian border,such trade has given an effective boost to the local economy,but at the same time,crossings by border residents via makeshift roads with no checkpoints have created a sort of chaos for border management.However,such seemingly chaotic situation has injected vitality to BTBR,for the chaos is paradoxically orderly in the sense it conforms to certain hidden rules and norms.Such a tension between chaos and order shows that the national border both obstructs and facilitates interactions.What it obstructs are illegal immigrants and activities that do harm to national security and undermine national interests,and what it facilitates and promotes are activities that are conducive to regional cooperation and development and that brings ben⁃efits to people.Meanwhile,the chaos does not mean an absence of administration by the state,nor is it a“case of exception”where state laws and rules are“suspended”.Rather,it is a normal situation for border management by the state.
