| Promoting rural revitalization by implementing the rural revitalization strategy is an important task for socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.The revitalization and development of rural areas is a major issue that the Party and the Government need to solve promptly.The core question of this paper is “ how to promote rural revitalization through effective governance?” The traditional “village and township co-governance” model,characterized by the unified administrative authority of township governments,falls short in dealing with the demands of diversified rural stakeholders and meeting the growing needs of farmers for a better life.Promoting the modernization of rural governance is a demand necessitated by rural development in the new era.It is well known that in China there are north-south differences and east-west differences in terms of rural development.East-west differences are manifested in the aspect of economic and social development.North-south differences are indicated in culture.Due to unbalanced development,the gap among villages in the same region is relatively wide.Most of the villages in China are still underdeveloped.History provides a logical interpretation for this.The dissertation probes into the evolution of rural governance model after the founding of the People' s Republic of China from a historical perspective.It means to discover the gene and logical generation of rural governance modernization in the historical development of rural governance in China.It points out that transformation of “village and township co-governance” from being traditional to being modern is a certain requirement by the economic and social development of rural areas in the new era.Problems are where thinking starts.The dissertation,starting from an empirical analysis on rural investigation of H County in Guangdong Province through questionnaires,seminars,interviews,and data analysis,intends to explore new challenges facing “village and township co-governance” in H County,hence to learn about the dilemma of China' s traditional “ village and township co-governance” model in the new era.Theories can provide perspectives for analyses and shed light on direction of development.From the perspective of governance modernization,the dissertation analyzes the causes of the traditional “ village and township co-governance” dilemma,such as vertical,equality,outside-inside,government-people conflicts,and clarifies the goals and principles of rural governance modernization.The goals are to safeguard farmers' civil rights,reconstruct rural societies and value systems,establish the authority of rural systems,build new rural orders,and follow the principles of rights maintenance,autonomy,rule of law,and effectiveness.The reality is a mirror,which can provide a feasible path.By examining,absorbing and drawing on the useful experience of rural governance in developed areas such as Europe,America,and Asia,it provides a useful reference for promoting the modernization of rural governance in China.Experience and case can provide good evidence and a feasibility path.By reshaping the traditional “village and township co-governance” model and through the implementation of streamlining township administration and reshaping “ village politics”,Guangdong Province explores an effective path for modernization of rural governance in the new era.The harmony,stability,and development of rural areas are effectively maintained through promoting the modernization and transformation of township governments,realizing the “good governance” of township governments,rebuilding the “ village and township co-governance”,enhancing the ability of the country's “one-core and multi-elements” governance subjects,giving full play to the role of various governance bodies,and effectively maintain the countryside.These typical practices can provide inspiration or answers for the modernization of rural governance in the new era.Rural areas are a political field where multiple subjects coexist.Meanwhile,it is a complex field of governance.Under the pressure system,the “ township administration” highlighted by suspension and involution,and the “ village and township co-governance” with the prominent tendency of dependency autonomy and administration are also forced to cope with the endogenous needs of the rural areas.With the development of rural economy and society,multiple right and interest subjects and different right and interest appeals are gradually emerging.Under the existing rural governance model,it is highly necessary to find an effective path to realize the modernization of rural governance.It is clear that the effective path to realizing the modernization of rural governance is to remodel “ village and township co-governance”.Firstly,we should reshape the “ township government” and promote the modernization transformation of township government.To achieve this,the following needs to be done: to consolidate the value system of township government's modernization transformation,to realize the transformation from “ managers” to “servers”,to rationalize the action system of township government's modernization transformation,to realize the integration of resources and to form the joint force of governance with the effect of institutional reform,so as to improve the system mechanism and build the system of township government' s modernization transformation,and to ensure that township government is efficient and orderly.Function.Secondly,we should reshape “village and township co-governance” and enhance the ability of “ one-core and multi-elements” governance subjects in the new era.In the new era,the governing ability of the main governing bodies in the countryside cannot meet the need of “one-core and multi-elements” co-governance.This can be achieved by constructing a multi-supply system,strengthening the public service ability of the township government,implementing the grass-roots party building mechanism,strengthening the cohesion of the village Party organizations,defining powers and responsibilities,improving the autonomy and assistance ability of the villagers' committees,and positioning responsibilities,enhancing the non-governmental groups.Organizational participation and service ability can improve the ability of rural governing bodies by safeguarding farmers' rights and interests and enhancing their main body ability,thus giving full play to their due role in “one-core and multi-elements” co-governance.In a word,by reshaping the traditional “village and township co-governance”,we can promote the modernization transformation of township government,improve the “ one-core and multi-elements” co-governance,realize the modernization transformation of rural governance in the new era,and consolidate the governance foundation of rural revitalization and development.By managing the transformation of modernization,promoting the integration of urban and rural development,making the countryside a beautiful place to attract young people,allowing farmers to live a modern life,making the free flow of urban and rural interaction a reality,the “iron law” that rural areas will decline with the modernization will be surely broken. |
