法律制度的乡土生长:安徽调查

The Rural Growth of the Legal System: a Case in Q Village

传统的乡土社会是无讼的。随着国家权力在乡土社会的渗透与"法律下乡",农民的法律意识不断提高,并开始通过法律途径解决权益纠纷,无讼的乡土社会逐渐转为有讼。以Q村近些年来发生的民事纠纷和民事诉讼为个案,探析法律制度渗透进乡土社会的关系调整的机理。在日益开放的乡村,乡村的民事关系主体已经多元化,法律制度的乡土生长的表现形式也呈现出多样化。

There is no litigation in the traditional rural society. With the penetration of state power in the rural society and ＂spreading laws to the rural areas＂, the farmers＇ awareness of the law is increasing and they start to resolve the disputes of rights through legal channels, thus no litigation is turning into litigation. We take the civil disputes and civil litigations oc- curred in Q Village in recent years as a case to analyze the mechanism of relation adjustment after legal system＇ s penetra- tion into the rural society. In the increasingly opening rural areas, the main body of rural civil relations has been diversifying and so does the expressing forms of the rural growth of the legal system.
