The Practice And The Logic Of The National Policy In Rural Areas

Policy is one core concept that we apply to understand the rural society. This thesis takes the practice process of taxes on special agricultural products collection as axes in D town A county in Shandong province. This thesis describes the practice map of the national policy was full of expedient action and structuration endeavor in rural society. Based on comprehensive analysis of this process, this thesis drew one path and frame how the grassroot political power govern the rural district. Then, the author indicated the process that grassroot political power took a special method to understand the national policy under the pressure system and govern by many strategies and skills under one reform logic—separation Name from Object. This logic promoted the reform materially and also caused huge chaos and governance danger in rural district. This research discussed the legality of grassroot political power and explained the governance situtation and governance logic in rural society after reform of taxation expenses. Compared the practice process and practice logic around reform of taxation expenses, this research argues that the reform of taxation expenses indicated that the state did not realize the origin logic why the national policy practice in rural district caused much tortuosity. The state also did not try to solve the countryside problem under whole consideration. The practice logic of policy did not occur material change, therefore, the national can not obtain expected effect. To change the rural chaos, we need to trasform the expedient governance method and flexible reform logic under the whole consideration, but not to only censure and punish the grassroot political power and cadres. Consequently, we can avoid more seriously legality danger in a greater range. Ultimate policy result was determined by the policy practice but not the theory hypothesis and good wish. This research advocates one kind of policy process research method which can indicate the process and explain the issue uniquely. On the method, this thesis emphasizes to combine the perspective from the bottom to the top and from the top to the bottom. This thesis also emphasizes the research tramsformation from policy text reseach to policy practice research.
