人民调解与现代农村社会

People's Mediation and Modern Rural Society

中国法制现代化的重要任务之一就是农村社会的法制现代化,但这种理想与中国“城乡二元结构”的国情之间存在着巨大的差距。尽管人民调解是中国传统的纠纷解决机制,但是其在缓解现代农村社会法治需求困境方面仍具有不可或缺的作用。中国法制现代化应是建立在现代中国社会生活和经验之上的推进而非概念中的展开,因此,人民调解机制可以视为中国法治深入农村社会的有效渠道,可以视为现代法律进入农村社会的窗口。

The Chinese legal systcm＇s modernization should he grounded on the experiences of the Chinese real - life society, hut not on the abstract conceptions. The people＇s mediation could be the effective means and window for the modern rule of law to infiltrate the vast Chinese rural area and society.
