The Grass-roots Government And Rural Society In The Construction Of A New Countryside

The construction of a new socialism countryside is a significant strategic decision that was proposed by the Party in the new period. The proposition of this decision has Very clear social background. Promoting the construction of a new socialism countryside, with the guidance of the scientific concept of development, will greatly narrow the gap between the rural and urban areas, promote the integration and harmonious development of urban and rural areas, and ultimately promote the building of a harmonious society of socialism and the realization of the goal of modernization.With the guide of the analytical framework -" Government-social relationship ", this paper traces the practice process of the construction of a new socialism countryside and the grass-roots government and the rural community in this process, by positive research technique. Through the meticulous combing and description of behaviour and role of the government and rural community in the practice process of the construction of a new socialism countryside in Xiangcun Village in the south of Fujian, this paper demonstrates the domination of the government and the autonomy and enthusiasm of rural community, and local government and rural community adjust the relationship between themselves, by using the chance of the construction of a new socialism countryside.This paper is divided into five parts. Chapter I is the introduction. Chapter II is devoted to study the self-building of Xiangcun Village in its early year, and the Origin of the construction of a new countryside in the village, from which we get the lessons that without the positive role of the government and rural community ,the self-building of Xiangcun Village in its early year failed at last. Thus foreshadows for the following two chapters. ChapterIII describes the domination of the government in the practice of the construction of a new countryside, including organization and mobilization, Matching funds, etc. ChapterIV describes the behaviour and role of local rural community in the same process, so as to show that how village autonomous organization, Grass-roots party organization, etc act independently and cooperate. Chapter V gives the summaries of the whole thesis. The summaries are these:Firstly, the construction of a new socialism countryside is a rural construction dominated by the government under the active cooperation of the rural society. Just like the institutional arrangement of Villager autonomy, the policy arrangement of the construction of a new socialism countryside is also given to the countryside from the above by the government. In essence, its internal source and intrinsic motivation is also the independent force in a rural society. To put this policy arrangement into the practice of the countryside, not only the active role of the government, especially the grass-roots government which related with local rural community closly, but also the active role of local rural community.The government and rural community are just the two actors of the construction g of a new socialism countryside, an ideal building of a new countryside is the result of positive interaction between them. In the construction of a new countryside , the government plays a leading role because of its special status , special role ,and the key resources that it masters, and the rural society gives active cooperation because of that the special status of "weak force", the status quo of "the lack of financial resources, the lagging behind of development and construction", having a strong inherent sense of development and construction ,and high sense of autonomy and enthusiasm.Secondly, the domination of the government and the active cooperation of rural community in the practice of the construction of a new countryside shows the ideal Prototype of "Strong Government-social "model has already come into showing. The implementation of the construction of a new socialism countryside can give a good chance for the exercise and eventually realization of "Strong Government-social" model in contemporary China. With the implementation of the construction of a new countryside and the ultimate goal to be achieved, the ability of both the government and the rural society (furthermore the whole society) will further enhance. As a choice of Government-social relationship"model in the contemporary China, "Strong Government-social"model will be much clearer.The third, the implementation of the construction of a new socialism countryside can also be regarded as an effort of constructing an ideal Government-Social relationship after Villagers Autonomy, and another integration to the rural society given by the Government in the new era and social context. The state gives the policy arrangement of building a new socialism countryside to the rural society, thus provides a useful platform and chance for the cooperation between the government (especially the grass-roots government) and the rural society and the adjustment of the relationship between them . With the smooth progress of the construction of a new socialism countryside, and the ultimate realization of a new countryside that has the characteristics of "production developed, well-off life, civilized Villagers, clean rural environment, democratic management", the gap between rural and urban will be effectively narrowed, the tense relationship between the grass-roots government and rural community will be eliminated, and thus the Government-social relationship will be more perfect, and be more helpful for rural development and rural governance.
