社会的三元结构与民间法的命运

Ternary Structure of Society and Destiny of the Folklaw

民间社会是一个以地域和权利为纽带,具有自己独立的内在运行逻辑和规则的自治体。现代社会存在一个三元结构:民间社会、官方社会和中立社会,与社会的三元结构相对应的是法律的三元结构:民间法、官方法和宪政法。以社会和法律的三元结构为背景,民间法必须具有社会权力属性才可能发挥应有的效力;从民间社会自身建设看,必须依照现代市场规则的要求整合民间法资源;民间法还应当建立起向国家法主动输送制定法"半成品"的机制。

Civil society is an autonomous body tied together by region and shared rights, which has inherent logic and rule of its own. Society is a ternary structure consisting of civil society, official society, and neutral society today. There is a legal ternary structure of folklaw, officiallaw, and institution corresponding to the ternary structure of society. Against the background of the social and legal ternary structure, folklaw should have social power and may be effective. From the construction of the civil society, the resources of folklaw must be arranged according to the regulations of modern market. In addition, a mechanism must be set up to transform consciously semifinished law into national law.
