村治研究中的本土化概念生产:问题与反思

Creation of Localized Concepts in Rural Governance Research:Problems and Reflections

概念生产是村治研究本土化的基本前提和主要途径,概念生产的环节出了问题,势必会连累与其有关的概念、理论和学说。文章基于辩证唯物主义、历史唯物主义的世界观和方法论,以及“坚持以人民为中心”的马克思主义政治经济学根本立场,通过对村治研究中本土化概念生产现状的追问和反思,发现其中普遍存在三个关键问题:一是从前提上看,由于很多研究者对源自西方部分国家经验的“国家-社会”二元分析范式的简单套用,常常还难以真正切合中国的实际;二是从过程上看,由于很多研究者对“地方性”与“国家性”二元互竞思维框架的坚持以及对农村社会“地方性”的过度主张,研究视野被不断窄化、乡村治理背后的国家性构建还没有受到充分的重视;三是从结果上看,由于不少研究者对公共价值的不敏感,还存在一定程度的去公共性倾向。文章认为,对辩证唯物主义、历史唯物主义世界观和方法论的轻视,以及对“坚持以人民为中心”根本立场的淡化,是这些问题产生的根源,着力从源头克服这些问题,是村治研究本土化健康发展和本土化的村治研究在中国特色社会主义新时代更好地发挥作用的前提和基础。

As a premise and an approach of localization of rural governance research,concept creation,if made inappropriately,will inevitably affect related concepts,theories and doctrines in this domain.This article,based on the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism,as well as the fundamental position of Marxist political economy of"adhering to the peoplecentered philosophy",investigates and reflects on the current situation of the localized concepts in the study of rural governance,examining that there are generally three key problems in the research field.First,a simple application of the"state-society"binary analysis paradigm derived from the experience of some Western countries cannot truly meet China's reality;second,the research field has been continuously narrowed,and the construction of national character behind rural governance has not received sufficient attention due to the insistence of researchers'dualistic thinking framework of"localness"and"stateness"and the excessive assertion of"localness"in rural society;third,a certain degree of de-publicity tendency is rising as a result of researchers'insensitivity to the public values.The paper finds that the ignorance of the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism as well as the downplaying of the fundamental position of Marxist political economy"adhering to people-centeredness"are the root causes of these problems.Thus,focusing on eliminating these research inappropriateness is the premise and foundation for the healthy development of the localization of rural governance research in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
