新世纪以来中国乡村治理研究概观

The Overview of China's Rural Governance Research Since the New Century

与以往相比,21世纪中国的乡村治理研究已进入一个新的历史阶段,这主要表现在:一是研究领域的拓展,由原来的重"村级"研究扩大到更重乡镇等层级研究。乡镇成为乡村治理研究的重点之一;从"下乡"的角度研究乡村治理;从城乡统筹角度研究乡村治理。二是理论的超越性意向,在广泛吸收"治理"理论和"善治"理论、协商民主理论、新公共服务理论、博弈理论之长后,有力地推动了研究的迅速发展。三是方法论的突破,通过跨学科研究、田野调查和微观研究方法,使研究逐渐走向深入。不过,目前的乡村治理研究还存在着一些不足,比如:西方化倾向,过于倚重理论尤其是西方理论,缺乏乡村治理研究的理论创新和融通,这是目前乡村治理研究的第一大困境;观念的固化,观念尤其是既成观念的限制和误区,成为当前乡村治理研究的第二大困境;碎片化研究,个案研究的大行其道和泛化状态,成为当下乡村治理研究的第三大困境,等,这些是需要加以注意和纠正的。

Compared with the past,in the 21 st century,China＇s rural governance research has entered a new historical stage.It mainly displays in several aspects：Firstly,the extending of research area,from previous address＂village level＂to expand to more on hierarchy researches towards towns;Secondly,the transcendence intention of the theory vigorously promoted the rapid development of the research,after the broad absorption of governance,the good governance theory,the deliberative democracy theory,the new public service theory,and the game theory;third is the breakthrough of the methodology.It gradually makes researches more deep through interdisciplinary research,field research and microscopic research methods.In the current rural governance study,there are,however,the westernization tendency,the solidifying concept,and insufficient fragmented researches.These issues need to be noticed and corrected.
