在建设法治中国，努力实现中国梦的今天，多元纠纷解决机制的构建与完善受到广泛关注。民族地区与其他地区相比，法治建设进程滞后、缓慢，在纠纷解决问题上具有复杂性、敏感性、棘手性等特点，多元纠纷解决机制在民族地区的构建面临巨大挑战。挑战与机遇同在：民族地区存在着可以为法治建设、多元纠纷解决机制服务的传统资源。如何挖掘、利用、改造、规制这些传统资源为法治建设服务，成为民族地区多元纠纷解决机制构建工作的重点。 民主改革前的凉山彝族社会虽然没有政权组织，但却“并未成为蛮荒无序的原始社会”，究其原因，凉山彝族传统资源中的纠纷调解人——“德古”无疑发挥着非凡作用。本文按照“德古”纵向时间发展顺序，将文章分为“传统德古”、“现代德古”、“未来德古”三部分，试图完整呈现“德古”这一凉山彝族传统资源的发展脉络。首先，“传统德古”部分主要梳理“德古”在民主改革前及民主改革到文革期间的社会定位、命运变化问题。其次，“现代德古”部分主要阐述改革开放后“德古”转型的背景、措施和效果，其中转型效果是在分析十二个现代“德古”调解案例的基础上得出的。最后，通过对现代“德古”的批判与继承，分“主动”与“被动”两个方面提出完善“未来德古”的建议。
