“被市民化”及其问题——对城郊农民市民化的再反思

On the Passive Urbanization of Suburban Farmers

从农民到市民是长期以来许多中国农民梦寐以求的愿望,然而在当代中国,随着工业化和城市化的不断推进,城市郊区农民的市民化却逐渐成为一种"问题化"了的现象。究其原因,主要在于郊区农民市民化的过程是一种完全被制度化安排的"被市民化"的过程,这种被市民化的结果既会给新市民群体带来许多困境,也很容易引发新的城乡冲突与潜在社会危机。因此,有必要对这一"农民被市民化"过程中的新型中国城乡关系及其问题进行反思,并寻求相关解决之道。

The conversion from farmer to urban citizen has long been the dream of Chinese farmers.However,in contemporary China,with the development of industrialization and urbanization,the conversion of suburban farmers to urban citizens has become a problematic phenomenon.This is because the urbanization of suburban farmers is a passive process which is institutionally organized.This passive process not only brings frustration to new urban citizens,but also causes new urban-rural conflict and potential social crises.Therefore,to find out possible countermeasures,we must take a close examination on problems of the new urbanrural relationship resulted from the passive process of urbanization of suburban farmers in China.
