大调解:社会纠纷解决路径的制度创新

The Major Mediation System——The System Innovation of Social Dispute Solution

大调解是在当代中国社会矛盾纠纷日益突出的严峻形势下实施的一种解纷路径的制度创新。大调解的提法直接来自于许多地方社会解纷政策的区域性改革实验。对于其概念的把握,还有待于法理上的进一步梳理,我们可以从属性、功能、模式识别、制度建构以及研究方法上对大调解作多维视角的解读;对于其特征的描述,需要在与传统解纷法律体系以及西方ADR机制的比较中进行分析;对于其发展的趋势与限度,则需要更为理性的把握,在国家与社会的基本构造框架下权衡运行,蛋糕并非做得越大越好。

The major mediation system is a system innovation under the increasingly stiff social disputes in China. The formation of major mediation system originated from the regional innovative experiments of many municipal policies of social dispute solutions. In order to master its concept, we should probe into this system from its attributes, functions, identities, and research methods. As for its features, we should compare it with the western ADR system within the traditional system of dispute solution. Meanwhile, we should understand its trend and limitation rationally within the frame of the basic structure of the country and society.
