作为社会结构的市场体系——以我国农产品市场为例

Tixi(体系):The Social Structure in Agricultural Products Market

本文认为,我们可以把中国的农产品市场理解成一种＂体系性＂的社会结构。其中国家权力机构构成了体系结构的中心;权力与资源的富集程度存在中心与边缘的差异;从中心到边缘之间可能有多个层次。农产品市场作为一个体系可以体现在关系、制度和场域三种结构上。这种体系的概念在西方社会理论的脉络里,可以理解为国家自主性的结构基础,尤其是要在政治组织之外寻找到社会组织的基础。体系概念不仅有社会理论的渊源,更有显明的政策依据。改革开放以来,＂体系＂一词从一个几乎从不使用的提法,逐渐变成一个越来越常用的政策术语,这种文本现象的背后,是一种新型社会结构的突生。

This paper argues that China’s agricultural products market can be understood as a social structure of "Tixi"( 体系). Suggesting that state agencies are located at the center of this structure, the degree of enrichment in power and resources from the center to the periphery in the structure varies greatly,and that there exists multiple layers between the center and the periphery. The author proposes that the agricultural products market as a Tixi can be analyzed from the structure of relationship,the structure of institution and the structure of the field. Based on the view points of Western social theories,the concept of Tixi is viewed as the structural basis of the state autonomy,and that the state is always active in consolidating the foundation of social organizations. The concept of Tixi has a strong theoretical origin and has been widely applied in state policies. Since the economic reformation w as initiated in 1978,"Tixi",which was a rarely used political term,has gradually gained in popularity. Behind this phenomenon is the reality that a new social structure has come into being in a very short period of time.
