中国乡村治理研究的概念本土化:梳理与反思

Localizations of Concepts in China's Rural Governance Research:Summary and Reflection

乡村治理研究是中国哲学社会科学本土化的一个重要突破口。40多年来,乡村治理研究领域的学者们努力践行学术体系、话语体系创新,提出了一系列具有中国特色的本土化概念。基于国家与社会关系框架,这些概念的创新大体上聚焦于三个层次:乡村治理中的农村社会;乡村治理中的关系结构;乡村治理中的政府行为。总体而言,这些本土化概念为我们勾勒出了我国乡村治理的总体样态。但这些概念多数重在描述且具有较强的政策导向性和实践性,有些在学理上还处于较低层面,还有些并不符合中国的国情与经验事实,从而对今天的中国治理实践失去了解释力。因此,中国乡村治理研究的概念本土化仍然任重而道远。

The research on rural governance is an important breakthrough in the localization of Chinese social science.In the past 40 years,scholars have made great efforts to practice the innovation of academic system and discourse system in the field of rural governance research,and put forward a series of localized concepts with Chinese characteristics.Based on the framework of the relationship between state and society,these concepts generally focus on three levels:farmers and rural society in rural governance,various relations in rural governance,and government behavior in rural governance.Generally speaking,these localized concepts outline the overall state of rural governance in China.However,most of these concepts focus on description and have strong policy orientation and practicality.Some of them are still at a lower level in academic theory,and some do not conform to China's national conditions and empirical facts,thus losing the explanatory power to China's governance practice today.Therefore,localization of concept of China's rural governance research still has a long way to go.
