时下学界对信访问题的研究虽则热闹,但由于缺乏起码的理论依凭而实际上并没有达到真正的理论化程度,因此相关“研究”毋宁说是一种短平快式的“直觉的言说”。英格兰普通法的发达历程向我们清晰地展现了自生自发的可能性,以及自生自发秩序所需要的并不甚苛刻的条件。通过揭示普通法发达过程中的自生自发之特质,可以为作为一种社会控制工程的信访机制之可能走向提供某些颇有意义的启示。 Nowadays, although the study of petitions in the academic circles is bustling, it has not actually reached the theoretical level due to the lack of basic theories. Therefore, the related “research” is rather a short and quick “intuition” ". The common law of England developed to us clearly shows the possibility of spontaneous spontaneous, as well as the spontaneous order required by the less stringent conditions. By revealing the spontaneous and spontaneous nature of the common law development process, we can provide some meaningful enlightenment for the possible direction of the petition mechanism as a kind of social control project.
