Study On Peasant Class Differentiation During The Urbanization And Class Harmonious Coexistence Mechanism

Urbanization will be the main trend of China’s social development in the long-term future. Its development will affect all aspects of social life. Meanwhile, the ongoing urbanization in China is different from urbanization in any previous period. It is an urbanization with time-space compression, which is specially uneven and not comprehensively developed; it is temporally a discontinuous and catching-up urbanization. There is no doubt that some of the features of urbanization will manifests itself in other aspects of a more complex social life, such as the favorable and unfavorable factors that the peasant class differentiation has brought to the social governance during the urbanization. For the current differentiation of peasants in our country, since the external force released by the urbanization is too strong and stiff, the peasant differentiation forced by it lacks spontaneously formed and developed experience and is not endogenous, and thus the establishment of corresponding social norms and interaction mode after will lag behind the change of the structure. Overall,enclosed top class, poor middle class and fragmented underclass have emerged in the peasant class differentiation during the urbanization, which has brought to the urbanization of social governance has brought both favorable and unfavorable factors to the social governance. From the perspective of the peasant class differentiation, carrying out a depth analysis on potential impacts of the changes of peasant class differentiation on social governance and then conducting a series of adjustments and improvement on the governance is of great importance to the construction of scientific governance system during the urbanization and the improvement of governance capacity.The basic ideas of the study are as follows. Chapter One conducts a realistic examination on the peasant class differentiation in the process of urbanization anddiscusses the peasant class differentiation models, the measurements of peasant class differentiation and the current situation and some features of peasant class differentiation in China. Chapter Two analyzes the causes of the peasant class differentiation in the process of urbanization and proposes that the loose binary structure of the urban and rural, decreased agricultural comparative revenue and rapid differentiation of peasant values are the main causes of the rapid class differentiation of the peasant at present. Chapter Three describes the positive and negative effects the peasant class differentiation has brought to the urban social governance in the process of urbanization. Based on the previous chapters, Chapter Four proposes to build the strategy of harmonious coexistence mechanism between peasantry, which is to improve the coordination mechanisms of the class interests and control differentiation between the rich and poor; to open class boundaries and increase the upward flow path; to protect the social fundamental rights and interests of the lower classes; to enhance,revitalize and free the social capital for the harmonious coexistence between classes.
