双重认可与交叠权威: 理解当代中国农村社团与群体性抗争的关系

本文探讨了中国农村草根层面的纠纷调解机制，以期总结出立足基层防范和化解群体性事件的可行之道。具体来说，本文以农村社团与群体性抗争的关系为切入点，采用比较案例法，对作者从2007年以来收集的多个案例进行实证分析；在此基础上，力图对上述关系的现实差异做出解释，并归纳出导致差异出现的社会机制。为实现上述目标，本文围绕两组核心案例，分析了农村社团与群体性抗争之间的现实关系，识别出了那些能够化解群体性抗争的农村社团具有的结构特征，并从村庄权威关系的视角勾勒出了这些农村社团化解群体性抗争的机制，提出了一个解释农村社团与群体性抗争关系的新框架。在此基础上，本文还使用了多个典型案例，对村庄权威发育的具体路径进行了分析。

This chapter reveals the social mechanisms through which some state-society conflicts are resolved in China. Drawing upon the comparison between several purposely-selected cases, this chapter demonstrates that different social organisations play different roles in contentious politics in rural China. It also explains why certain social organisations are able to mediate the conflicts in local communities while others are not capable to do so. It argues the triangle relationship among the state, the social organisations, and the local society is the key to understand the dynamics of contentious politics in contemporary rural China.
