Since 2003 rural collective action has risen sharply. The "Blue Paper" issued in 2005 showed that this action increased from 10000 in 1994 to 60000 in 2003 and the scale of this action upgraded rapidly. The number of people participating in the collective action increased with an average growth rate of 12%, from more than 730 thousand to 3.07 million people. Among of them, the actions that referring more than 100 people expanded from 1400 in 1994 to 7000 in 2003. In 2004 China proposed to build a harmonious society, focusing not only on economic growth but also the harmony of economical and social development. In this context, it has great practical significance to researching the collective petition. At the same time, the author integrates the new constructivism comprehensive about collective action and Liu explanation of localization analysis model in China's urban contexts and builds the interpretation framework of China's rural collective petition. It has great theoretical significance to analyzing the Chinese peasants' collective action under the new situation.This paper first discusses the background of the study. In the process of urbanization, the peasants are bereaved of the land and become a group of landless peasants. The low compensation and the lack of criterion triggered landless peasants to adopt collective petition, so it raised the author's attention. The researches on it are mostly come from procurator ate and court. They are focusing on the reasons and resolution of the collective petition. The researches on this field of the authorities are mostly in political science and sociology view, and mainly from the political science. Political think farmers' collective petition as a form of political participation action and collective petition is a manifestation of the political participation, so this collective petition re-build the political structure of the peasants, such us Yu Jianrong,Fang Jiangshan and Zheng Xin. Sociology focus on the collective petition process, for example, Yingxing's "the process of problem" and Sun Liping's "the research methods of process and incident". While the author studies the mobilization process of peasants' collective action mainly on the sociological view.Secondly, the author explains the theoretical basis and analytical framework of the research. There are three main explanations of the process mechanisms of collective action: structurian explanation, utilitarian explanation and interpretation of constructivism. Krandelman and others formed a theoretical framework to explain the collective action by integrating the structurian and utilitarian into the constructivism explanation and thinking social structure, ideology and rational calculation as three key variables of collective action. At the same time the domestic scholars Liu Neng proposed a to localization framework for analyzing the urban collective action according to the specific social context of China on the basis of this theoretical framework. Both of they the actors are rational and they are in rational actions, through regarding ration as the basic assumptions of the analysis framework of the whole collective action. However the author thinks peasants is rational as well as irrational. Therefore, based on the assumption that rational and non-rational explanation for Chinese farmers I re-build a framework for collective action.Again is the subject of this paper, firstly I introduced Long gang village about the history and current situation of land acquisition, and from, problem and significance in the process of mobilization and collective action to mobilize the petition process to demonstrate the mechanism of mobilization of landless peasants. How could the collective action of landless peasants? This paper is asking this question. based on Long gang village landless peasants petition the whole process of collective mechanism and the display Process for clues to the story ,this paper reveals the mechanism of action in the course of landless peasants collective petition.The problem,significance of this mobilization and action mobilization are three obvious main lines, which started in the specific mechanisms of this process, and the significance of mobilization and action to begin mobilization. From the specific events of significance to the mobilization process is the formation of common sense. Awareing of the common collective action from the mobilization process is implemented. Significance of mobilization and action to mobilize the two processes are not independent of each other but the infiltration. The problem is the cause of collective action petition, and incidents not only for itself but also the attitude of the peasants can affect even further the collective common sense on visit, Therefore, in this part of our stated Long gang petition to the Village of landless peasants and landless peasants' attitude on this issue. There are three levels achieved meaningful mobilization of public discourse:â‘ Level of public discourse;â‘¡persuade sexual communication;â‘¢scene upgrade. In this part, three levels of the Krandelmans's significance mobilize, which are experienced to landless peasants specific collective action petition Analysis. Such us mobilization of the international networks of human action, collective identity, with the help of public media, legal knowledge and leadership to mobilize the technical implications effect the success of mobilization. Well, this part of landless peasants will have a direct analysis of these factors is how to mobilize the action.In this paper, as the two dark lines, ration and non-ration are reflected in various parts of the analysis. The petition in the whole course of action is the main subject. They have the rational and the irrational characteristics. The dual characteristics in the whole process make them continuously build their realistic meaning and transform it to the action.The author thinks that landless peasants' collective action is their action of safeguarding their rights under the condition of losing their interests. Their actions are different from other groups', because subject of their rights is based on the land. The petition whose core is land is more easily blazed. The land is the peasants' final basic protection, so interests on land are not common. The collective petition of landless peasants is becoming more and more drastic. Some of them are successful but some are not. Landless peasants' collective petition is also different from the social action of urban workers and community group. The social environment and the characteristics of landless peasants induce the unique characteristics of the collective petition, such as the special interpersonal network, a lower level of knowledge, the lacking of resources, all of which lead to the complication of their mobilization process. Therefore the research on how the peasants' collective petition induces the collective action with all the limited resources and condition not only shows the mobilization mechanism of the collective action, but also let us know as the weakness social group how the landless peasant to protect their interests through the collective action. It is of great significance to study and perfect the expression mechanism of interest.
