A Study On The Individualization Process And The Regional Construction Of Grassroots

In the 21 stcentury, an “individualized” society symbolized by globalization,internet and big data has already come. In contemporary social thoughts,individualization becomes a social structure and phenomena. It reflects a structural and sociological transformation in relevant social system in addition to the relationship between individual and society. The development of individualization process happens earlier in Western society. Its theory is also more mature and its main philosophy is“live for your life”, which touches the fundamental change in the social structure.However the individualized process in China is completely different from that happens in Western society. Its deep meaning, influencing factors, process and features all show characteristic of China。Because China has to deal with pre-modern, modern and post-modern all three cases, in addition to the lack of well-developed welfare system and democracy and freedom genes. The mixing of multi-level and multi-time process exacerbate the complex process of individualization in China. After the reformation and opening up, with the development of market economy, promotion of political reforms and the gradually declination of ruling center and executive power,urban communities as the carrier of declining power hold the responsibility of managing a large number of new "social people”. However, due to challenges such as short-term employment and globalization accompanied by individualized process, the original management model of social community is no longer adapted to the new situation. Community management needs to search for new innovative methods.Current paper applies a new approach with combination of iterature studies and fieldwork and combination of induction and deduction to analyze and demonstrate how Chinese urban communities should deal with new challenges and innovative under the process of individualization and in the viewing angle of individualization theory.Besides, in order to obtain better analysis of community management method, the writer did a month-long field investigation in the Shuangluan District at city of Chengde with many community visits and deep investigation. The writer hope to discover an unique path for the less developed regions to face the challenge of individualization, further enrich regionalization theory of party building and improve the effectiveness of national grassroots management.The first chapter of the paper discusses the individualization process in Chinese social society and defines the basic concepts for individualization theory. The first section clearly states the intrinsic connotation of individualized social society; the second section analyzes the uniqueness of individualization in Chinese social society to distinguish it from the individualization in western society; The third section deeply analyze the factors affecting individualization in China to lay the theoretical foundation for later discussion.The second chapter starts to observe grassroots party building in individualization process on the basis of individual theory. The first section describes the connotation of community party building in the traditional sense; the second section describes the challenges that grass-roots party building has to face in the process of individualization.The third section proposes that in response to the challenges of individualization we need to apply the viewpoint of regional party building management mode.Though demonstrating the challenge brought by individualization to the grassroots party building and the explanation of basic path, provide theoretical model for later detailed observations and specific measures.In the third chapter, the author uses the conclusion obtained through field studies on the innovation made in the regional party building of Shuangluan Districts.The first section introduces the basic situation about community in Shuangluan District,illustrating the social background and its own characteristics of innovation in Shuangluan District;The second section discusses the major issues and challenges that Shuangluan District has to face in the community building as part of individualization process.The third section describes the path that Shuangluan District choose in practice under challenge and discusses the experience and enlightment that Shuangluan District obtains in addressing the grassroots party building experience under challenge of individualization,Providing practical basis to explore the enlightment and path stated in Chapter 4.The fourth chapter is the focus of the whole thesis. It is a review of exploration in grassroots party path in Chinese individualization process with innovation.The first section points out that individualization is a new issue that modern grassroots party building has to face; The second section demonstrates again the general applicability of regional party building management mode in individualization process.The thirdsection discusses the key method of gridding management model separately and make the conclusion of using gridding management model for regional party building; The fourth section emphasize the role of system construction in protecting the regional party building, with some suggestions on the design of the system to ensure the smooth progress of the grass-roots party building work.There are three conclusions in this paper: firstly, apply regionalization to solve the individualization. The social structure in China has greatly changed in the trend of individualization. Traditional approach in grassroots party is no longer applicable. We need to establish a regional pattern of party building to address challenges of individualization.Secondly, apply gridding network to compensate the weak point in regional party building. Regionalization of party building brought a lot of troubles due to its own shortcomings ever since its birth. We need to use gridding management mode to make up for the shortcomings of regional mode. Thirdly, apply institutionalized approach to secure the grassroots party building.Community as the "the first line of defense " to ensure social stability. The community party building occupies the core leadership for community building. The importance of the Community Party ’s self-evident. Policy is mandatory and long-term. Use construction of system to protect the leading role of community party building. Highlights of this paper is that it is the first time that people use the perspective of sociology based on individualization theory to observe the Chinese grassroots construction. Based on the research fruits from previous scholars, the author links the regional party building theory and individualization theory together through his own field research, and discover the challenge that regional party building has to face and the practical method to solve the problem.
