摘　　要：《大国宪制》对“宪制”的探索,突破了成文宪法研究的局限,回到了更久远也更宏大的宪制视野之中,并重新恢复了政治共同体构建问题在宪法学研究中的重要地位。历史中国的发生,挑战了西方共同体理论的传统解释,在强化家族与村落的礼俗社会的同时,借助军事、度量衡、书同文、语同音、官僚政治等诸宪制,创造了较高程度的法理社会。《大国宪制》试图对中国何以发生这一理论难题给出自己的回答。较之之前的费孝通、瞿同祖等学者的研究,《大国宪制》继续推进了以社会科学视角来研究“整体中国”的学术进路,并在此基础上将作为前提的宪制重新“问题化”,以呈现其独特的制度功能与意义。In his China’s Constitution,Suli explores the development of constitution in China by putting the issue into a bigger historical picture,thus breaking the limits set by the researches on written constitutions.This has restored the key position of political community in constitutional studies.The making of ancient China as a nation defies the traditional explanations provided by the Western theories of political community,for it strengthened the ritual and custom-based society consisting of families and villages and at the same time created an advanced form of society regulated by law with the help of the constitutional mechanisms such as the military force,the standardization of units of measurement,the unification of writing system,the popularization of a common language and the bureaucratic politics.Suli’s book tries to answer the theory question of how and why ancient China came into being.On the foundation laid by his predecessors like Fei Xiaotong and Qu Tongzu,Suli carries forward the approach of viewing China from a comprehensive sociological perspective and on this basis reformulates the question of constitution as a prerequisite in order to reveal its institutional function and significance.
