加强新时代乡村“熟人社会”中法治建设的路径构想

A Design of the Path to Strengthening the Construction of Rule of I aw in“the Acquaintance Society”of Rural Areas in the New Era

与“陌生人社会”强调契约精神不同,“熟人社会”更加注重伦理道德约束,这一特点给生活其中的人们带来一定便利的同时,也必然会发生“人治”的种种弊端,其必将随着社会现代化的进程转向法治社会。当前,我国乡村,特别是地理位置相对偏僻地区和少数民族地区,大多仍处于“熟人社会”状态,由于城乡发展的割裂和旧有社会格局变动缓慢,一定程度影响和妨碍了乡村法治建设的进程。由此,提出新时代乡村法治建设的路径构想:(一)“观念塑造”,发挥普法宣传作用;(二)“德法共治”,发挥德治作用;(三)“能人治村”,发挥基层领导干部的作用。

Unlike the emphasis on the spirit of contract in“the stranger society”,“the acquaintance society”places greater emphasis on ethical and moral constraints.This characteristic brings some convenience to people living within it,but it also inevitably leads to vari-ous drawbacks of“the rule of man”.With the progress of social modernization,it will definitely shift towards a society ruled by law.Cur-rently,many rural areas in China,especially geographically remote areas and minority-inhabited regions,are still in“the acquaintance so-ciety”.The disconnection between urban and rural development and the slow change in the old social structure has to some extent affected and hindered the construction of rule of law in rural areas.Therefore,this paper provides a design of the path to the construction of rule of law in rural areas in the new era:(1)“shaping concepts”:we should leverage the role of legal education and promotion;(2)“governance through morality and law”:we should leverage the role of moral govermance;(3)“capable individuals governing vllages”:we should le-verage the role of grassroots officials.
