管理合法性:城市基层政府的法律行动研究

Managing Legitimacy: Legal Action of Urban Local Government

本文构建了中国基层法治研究分类框架,并将城市基层政府作为法律资源运用的主体与焦点,同时延续法律社会学重视法律实践及合法性建构的研究传统,通过治理"住改商"案例,提炼出"寻法—宣法—执法—督法"的法律行动过程,进而以"管理合法性"概念来统领政府法律行动的机制分析。这有别于"社会反抗"类的法律行动研究,完善了国内法律社会学研究的"国家(政府)"面向。在此基础上,本文进一步将"管理合法性"细分为全程管理、互动管理、能动管理三个维度,基层政府在这三个维度塑造并使法律行动呈现不同的样态,体现出行动中的合法性,这为我们理解政府的法律行动提供了一种具体和维度化的分析路径。

Based on the classification framework of China’s grassroots rule of law,this article follows the research tradition of sociology of law and treats the urban local government as the focal point of utilizing legal resources.Taking the governance of the"residential to commercial"issue as a case study,this article elaborates the process and mechanism of government legal action using the concept of"managing legitimacy".This research perspective is different from"social resistance",and improves the"state(government)"orientation.Furthermore,this article divides"managing legitimacy"into three dimensions.The differences of actors’behaviors lead to different patterns of legal actions and reflect the legitimacy in action.
