Mutual Construction Of Project Embedding And Endogenous Strategy In Rural Development

With the development of urbanization,industrialization and market economy,the major social contradiction in China has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced,inadequate development.How to develop and revitalize rural areas has become an important issue affecting the overall development process of China.In recent years,due to the need of accelerating the development of rural economy,and the adverse impacts of the limitations of various resources in rural areas on its endogenous development,various local development programs are constantly launched in various regions to promote the local characteristic agricultural industry,increase the investment in the rural industry development,and ensure the growth of local economy.While the countryside gets flooded with external resources,including techniques,policies and investment,its original and endogenous development mechanism is inevitably affected and needs to be adjusted according to different social situations.Meanwhile,the interrelationship and interaction mode established by internal forces and external forces based on their respective considerations is the key factor determining local development,as well as the core issue of rural development,which is also the focus of this paper.Specifically,this article focuses on how the original endogenous mechanism was broken in the process of external forces promoting and participating in rural development in the form of proj ects.What is the tug of war between proj ect logic and farmers' endogenous strategy?To investigate these questions,this paper takes village B in Jiangxi province as the research obj ect with endogenous development theory as the research perspective.We mainly adopt the research method of in-depth interview to conduct a detailed study on the development process and game behavior of internal and external forces of the tangerine industry in this village.In this case study,"projects" were gradually embedded into the rural industrial development,taking the major freezing disaster from 1991 to 1992 as an opportunity,and the tangerine promotion project in 2006 as the peak of development.This paper mainly focuses on two key development stages,namely the freezing disaster(regarding the development measures after the freezing disaster as a "project mechanism")and the "double hundred project".Firstly,we analyze the original endogenous economic development foundation of the village—we found that the original endogenous social basis of the village lies in the internal and external implicit consultation mechanism formed by the active and effective participation of farmers and the coordination of village cadres,on which the advantage of local resources can be effectively developed and play a role;Then,this paper extensively studies the policy logic of the implementation in these two proj ects,farmers' endogenous development strategies,as well as the game and mutual construction process of the two in the process of mutual game,and then further analyzes the game process and its consequences in the process of external resources"entering" rural development in various ways.Through research,the following conclusions are drawn:first,the original endogenous mechanism is established by the active and effective participation of farmers,where cooperation plays the key factor.At the same time,in coordinating internal and external resources and interest relations,village cadres have established the hidden consultation mechanism between local and super local;Second,in the freezing disaster,natural disasters not only bring opportunities for local governments to intervene in rural industrial development,but also bring farmers the legitimacy of reclamation and further "quietly" reclamation,replanting excuses.At this stage,the result of their game can be said to be tacit "collusion".Furthermore,such situation is also brought by the farmers' strong survival desire facing the freezing disaster.Their actions take the survival rationality as the basic principle,thus increasing the demand for external resources and reducing the balance of external power embedding.The consistency in both parties' interests is the fundamental reason for success;Third,in the "double hundred project",the local government shows the anxiety of developing regional economy and the original intention of achievement,which leads to the gradual deviation from the meaning of development itself in the process of promotion,and shows strong logic of administrative "compulsion".As a result,the prospect of sustainable development is affected by the regional expansion of characteristic industries.The behavioral logic of peasants,as the interest gainer and the affected one,turns from the survival rationality to the economic rationality,but the problem is that the interests of peasants become unstable or tend to decrease.While striving for greater interests,farmers also need to avoid positive conflicts with the administration.Thus,their "struggle" is quiet and low-key,which is mainly verbal dissatisfaction and action in the silent that transfers to the sales field or other industries.At the same time,their "silent" helplessness and disappointment is reflected through their education for children;Fourth,the lack of practical knowledge in the process of over-simplified expansion leads to uneven quality,which is an important reason for the bottleneck of tangerine industry.As a result,the region's overall economic prospect tends to get lost;Fifth,the intervention of external resources should be combined with the resource demand in different stages of industrial development.And the effective participation of residents should be attached importance in the intervention process,so as to achieve the healthy development of the industry and enhance the farmers' sense of approval to local industries and rural areas.
