超越“维稳的政治学”——分析和缓解社会稳定问题的新思路

Beyond the "Politics of Stability Maintenance"——A New Thinking on Analyzing and Mitigating Problems Related to Social Stability

当前中国的社会稳定问题兼有现实性冲突与非现实性冲突的特点,人格的冲突、情绪的对抗是集体上访和群体性事件得以发生和持续的关键动力。1990年代各级地方政府所推行的维稳政治学存在着"开口子"与"拔钉子"的张力,运动式治理与制度化治理的矛盾,行政主导与法律治理的对立。缓解社会稳定问题的新思路在于破除僵硬的维稳机制,形成以利益均衡为主导的社会矛盾化解模式。

At present,China's social stability-related problems are characterized by both realistic and non-realistic conflicts.The major reasons behind the persistent group petitions and mass incidents lie in personality conflict and emotional confrontation.In the 1990s,the politics of various levels of local government in maintaining stability demonstrated several characteristics:contrasting strategies—taking forceful measures against certain petitioners while making special economic compensation to the other,a conflict between the ideal system-based governance and the actual political-campaign method;and an opposing relationship between government's dominance of all and the role of law.A new thinking on mitigating problems concerning social stability is to get rid of the stubborn stability-maintenance mechanism and form a new model of social conflicts resolution that centers on interest equilibrium.
