On the settlement mechanism of irregular disputes in China

Abstract

Irregular disputes involving a certain community presented in the form of special maneuver and confrontation are noticeable social phenomena in China today. The issues related to irregular disputes and their settlement mechanism have transcended the professional and technical categories of regular judicial settlement, typically reflecting the profound background of political, legal and social development in China. To achieve the goal of social harmony, an extensive mobilization and utilization of political, judicial and various social resources in effectively dealing with this kind of social disputes is the key to enhancing China’s capability in controlling and resolving social disputes.
