| Reputed as the "Oriental Blossom", the system of people's mediation, as an important out-of-courtdispute resolution mechanism in our country, has been playing an irreplaceable role in conciliating contradictions and conflicts, and in boosting social harmony and stability for a long time. With continuous deepening of reform and opening up, Western mainstream legal thoughts has had a tremendous impact on the traditional dispute resolution of our country, especially having brought unprecedented challenges to our people mediation system. For social conflicts during the social transition period grow more complicated, it comes to be an important theoretical thesis and realistic problem to figure out how to re-examine the nature and legal orientation of people mediation and to reconstruct people-mediation-centered ADR. This paper will take people's mediation as the center, and analyze deeply its theoretical basis, current difficulties and developing path. Finally, it will discuss the problems needing attention in the implementing process of people's mediation combined with the new People's Mediation Regulation, and based on this put forward the idea of perfecting the people's mediation system. |
