Developing socialist democracy is an important part of the socialist modernization and the concrete embodiment of essential characteristics of socialism.As the basic foundation which build the political democracy with Chinese characteristics, through the democracy practice,China's rural grassroots democracy has gradually formed a villagers' self-governing system, which main contains democratic election, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision.Whose development and perfection is not only beneficial to the stability and development of Chinese rural area, but also play the greater role to the construction of the political civilization of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Democratic construction of the rural grassroots under the model of countryside politics and village governance,which guided by the state, not only make the State power play a crucial role on guiding and standardizing the autonomy of the grass-roots,but also provide a relatively loose political space for the growth of rural social endogenetic forces. It can be said that the development of rural grassroots democracy is the result of the interaction between the state power and rural social right. However, currently the structural contradictions between the powers generated by the national administration, the party's leadership and the villager autonomy has become a "bottleneck" which restricted the further development of rural democracy. Several factors contribute to these contradictions, such as country macroscopic view system and the construction of rural power subject itself. But the problem ultimately lies on the imbalance interaction between the state power and rural social rights.The key to the further development of Chinese rural grassroots democracy is seeking for the system balance between our state and rural society.Regarding as an innovation of rural grassroots democracy which coincides with the spirit of socialist democracy, the democratic system of cooperation emphasize on using the System Construction to regulate the permission and pattern which the state power intervene in the rural society and innovate the "village democracy" mechanism to promote rural social autonomy, Creating a positive interaction between the state and rural society, in order to promote the rural grassroots democracy.The thesis consists of five chapters.The introduction, as the first chapter, expounds the research purpose and significance of the paper, retrieves the previous research, and introduces, theoretical basis and methods.The second chapter, based on the Marxist concept of democracy, elaborates the conception and connotation of the democracy, the democracy at the grass-roots level, and the democracy at the grass-roots level in rural areas. It also analyzes the far-reaching significance of the democracy at the grass-roots level in rural areas to the rural China, even to the whole country's construction of the democratic politics. It is the question to be answered first of this paper, as well as the logical starting point of the paper.In the third chapter, it gives an exploration and analysis of the development of democracy at the grass-roots level in rural areas, under the countryside politics and village governance system. This chapter, first established in the construction theory of the modern country, combs the historic process of the disintegration of the people's commune system and the appearance of the countryside politics and village governance system. Next, it illustrates the rough outline of the growth of the democracy at the grass-roots level in rural areas from the three viewpoints; namely, the state standardizes the self-government among villagers with the legislative constructions, promotes the self-government among villagers with demonstration through typical examples and deepens the self-government among villagers with the innovation mechanism, which then constitute the general historic process we understand of the development of the grass-roots democracy in rural areas under the countryside politics and village governance system.The forth chapter explores and analyzes the conflicts produced among the national executive power, leadership of the Party, and the villagers' self-governance, and the hysteresis problem of each power body's constructive performance derived from which, in the process of the construction of the democracy at the grass-roots level under the countryside politics and village governance system. Then it gives a conclusion that the predicament lies in the interactive unbalance between the national power and the countryside power.The fifth chapter, aimed at the structural obstacles of the power in the process of construction of the political democracy at the grass-roots level, comes up with the democratic cooperation system——a scheme of innovation system of democratic construction at the rural grass-roots level, and attempts to promote the growth of social power in the countryside through the way of the authority power into rural society with the standardization of the executive power and the innovation of the village governance system, thus forms powers of the state and rural society together to promote the development trend of the democracy at the rural grass-roots level.
