Introduction of the system of villagers' self-governance is a forcible kind of alteration enforced by the state, However, the democratic principle contained by the system has not been fully implemented with the system being embedded, and there is the possibility and the objectivity of alienation the villagers' self-governance affected by three branches of variables composed of power, benefit and culture.The possibility and it is far from the demand of Four Kinds of Democracy.The objectivity and possibility is the logic starting point of analyzing the existence of the model elite governance, Mean-while, state-predominated modernization style. Provide conditions for the combination of rural elite governance. Elite governance is divided by transverse and vertical types. Elite alliance is bound to form exclusivity which displays in sufficient participation and adequate supervision. Though elite governance is good for efficiency , leadership and making division and in a degree is able to enhance rural economic development and the social stability. However, elite governance is easy to be disintegrated due to insufficient supervision.Under the circumstance of elite governance, mass's participation must be first solved. But it is not enough to solve just by embedding some system. There lie many constraint factors in the aspect of politics, economy, culture, etc. Therefore, an overall effort must be made to keep balance, which is best way to realize democratic governance.The gradual process is not pessimistic.

Because of many restrictions, rural governance still emphasize the function of elite governance, and institutionalization has not been realized fully.2. Variable analysis: The democratic content contained by the system of villager's self-governance can only stay at the level of institution, why?The section demonstrates the objectivity and possibility that the system has been distorted in the practice. They has formed the logic starting point of elite governance, which has derived from the requirement of state-predominated modernization, but the requirement conflict with the growing social power in the market-oriented economy and make it difficult to balance between democracy and authority in the course of governance. The article's purpose is to find a way to achieve the balance and advance the democratic governance.3.Model-path analysis: In the section the article first analyze the two formed types of elite governance, the combination of which can in a degree satisfy the...
