Agriculture is the basis of economic development. The rural area is the foundationof China’s society. There are800million people in rural areas in China, who are thesubjects of Chinese modernization as well as the largest political community in China.The grassroots management in rural areas has long been a national concern. It refers to thecontinuing interaction process of participation, negotiation and coordination betweenthe government organization, villagers, rural social organizations and other stakeholders,to achieve common goals of rural interest promotion and rural development. Withfurther development of the practice of urban and rural integration, new demands onrural management and governance mechanism are put forward. The minority populationnow accounts for8%of the population in China, mostly in the economically, politicallyand culturally relatively backward rural areas. The grassroots management in minorityrural areas is not only an important part of china’s grassroots management ent in ruralareas, but also the basis of political governance phenomenon on minorities. It isinseparable from the context of the development in grassroots management in rural areas,nor from the solution of issues of agriculture, farmer and rural area. It shares similaritieswith the grassroots management in Han rural areas, but also possesses some features due toinfluences of many factors, such as natural conditions, economic development, ethniccomposition, socio-cultural environment and etc. At present, some achievements havebeen made in grassroots management in minority rural areas after the launch of nationwidelow level management project. However, there are still some problems to be properlysolved in practice and exploration in grassroots management in minority rural areas in thefields of villager self-governance, township institution reform, grassroots Partyorganization construction and rural social organization development.Based on the theoretical analysis and empirical research and a survey in XiangxiTujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture by way of field interviews and questionnaires,this thesis analyzes and explores the problems in grassroots management and ways toestablish and improve the grassroots management mechanism in minority rural areas. Thisthesis intends to bring some reference significance to the promotion of economic andsocial development in China’s minority areas.
