摘要:中国是农业大国，农村问题在社会经济建设中处于核心地位，关注当代中国就必须关注农村。对农村的关注不可避免的要涉及农村社会纠纷的解决。人民调解制度源于我国传统的调处止息制度，是具有中国特色的非诉讼纠纷解决方式。与其他方式相比，人民调解具有灵活性，民间性等特点，人民调解对于我国农村的稳定发挥过举足轻重的作用。但是，随着中国社会进入转型期，农村地区的纠纷呈现出主体多元化、类型多样化、法律关系复杂化的特点，原有的人民调解机制已无法适应现代化的需要，造成人民调解在纠纷解决中的比例逐渐下降，解纠功能弱化，并有没落的迹象。面对日益频繁的农村社会纠纷，深入研究人民调解，完善人民调解制度对于解决农村社会纠纷，稳定农村社会具有重要的现实意义。
