Abstract: The "state-society" analysis framework,based on the perspectives of state-centered approach and conflict theory,lays an overall theoretical premise for discussing the relationship between state and peasants from the structure-institution path.Around this framework,many theoretical paradigms have been formed in the field of contemporary peasants' study,which have been very effective in explaining considerable social problems.However,they overemphasize the opposition between the state and society,neglecting the cooperation between the two,thus they are not conducive to a deeper understanding of the transition period of peasants and related social issues in China.Therefore,the study of contemporary peasantology needs to introduce a new analysis path to reflect on the existing "state-society" analysis framework and explore the new possibility of peasantology during the social transformation period of the new era.

Key words: peasants' study, state-society analysis framework, village, state in society
