交易成本理论下老人组的复兴缘由分析——以潮汕地区M村为例

Reasons of the Clan Organization's Resurgence in the Perspective of the Transaction Cost Theory——With M Village of the Chaoshan Area as an Example

通过对M村老人组的实证调研,运用交易成本理论与共同体/社会概念,分析研究乡村宗族组织的复兴缘由。在潮汕地区老人组这类宗族组织与村民、村委会、其他农村民间组织之间分别有互惠、互利和合作制衡的互动关系。透过上述分析,宗族组织是作为乡村本土资源的载体存在,在乡村治理过程中应充分认识其价值并积极加以引导。

Through an empirical research on the M village elders, this paper applies the transaction cost theory and the concept of community/society to analyze the reasons of rural clan organizations' resurgence. It holds that the elderly groups in Chaoshan area interact with the villagers, village committee, and other folk organizations with mutual benefit, cooperation and balance. The analysis shows that clan organizations are the carriers of rural local resource, and we should recognize its value and guide its development.
