Chinese Modernization of Rule of Law in Rural Areas:Overall Characteristics,Structural Problems and Adaptive Changes From the "Structure-Process" Perspective
The rule of law in rural areas is an important content of Chinese modernization,and its Chinese-style modernization is actually the process of realizing the modern transformation of rule of law in rural ar-eas.The"structure-process" analysis pattern provides a research justification for examining the rule of law in rural areas in the new era.Taking the experimental areas of rural community governance across the country as samples,the paper constructed an analysis framework of"element deconstruction-action dilem-ma-structure reconstruction",and use the framework to explore the overall characteristics and structural problems of the Chinese modernization of rule of law from both static and dynamic dimensions.In terms of structure,the rule of law in rural areas is a unity of multi-subject,multi-level,multi-dynamic,rich content and diversified forms,which initially has the basic characteristics of modern rule of law.In terms of process,it has exposed a series of difficulties in actual actions,and there is a gap with the system require-ments and governance goals of modern rural rule of law,which are specifically manifested as fuzzy bounda-ries of the rights and responsibilities of the main body,insufficient internal impetus,poor interaction mech-anism,dislocation of the combination of three rules,and low governance efficiency.Based on this,we should base on the strategic goal of Chinese-style modernization,reshape the structural framework of rule of law in rural areas from the aspects of subject relationship,organizational structure,value orientation,function,and behavior mode,and promote the adaptive reform of Chinese-style modernization of rule of law.
