1940年代后期江浙农村社会失控的历史思考

194 0年代后期是江浙农村各种社会矛盾激化的顶点 ,农村经济的崩溃不仅加剧了社会各阶层的冲突 ,更强化了农村社会与国家政权的对抗。面对社会结构中精英阶层缺位、保甲重建失败、土豪劣绅和小规模割据势力的膨胀 ,国家政权为了强化社会控制 ,不得不更多地诉诸军事暴力。但无论何种努力都难以实现国家对农村社会的有效整合 ,更难以遏制农村社会结构崩解的趋势

A Historical Reflection on the Disintegration of Jiangsu and Zhejiang's Rural Social System in the Late 1940s

All kinds of social conflicts in the rural area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces reached an apex in the late 1940s. The economic collapse intensified not only the confliction between various social strata but also the antagonism between rural society and state power. Facing the absence of elites in rural society, the failure in reconstruction of the local administrative system organized on a household's basis, and the power expansion of local despotic landlords and small-scale separatist regimes, the state power had to resort to military violence more frequently. However, all the state power's efforts failed to achieve an effective consolidation of rural societies and to hold back the disintegration of the social system in rural areas.
