Study On The Workings Of Township Cadres Stationed In Villages In Rural Governance

The system of cadres stationed in village is an institutional arrangement which has been implemented for a long time in rural society.The system evolved from the "task force" mode adopted by the ruling party in order to strengthen the connection with the masses in the early stage of reform and opening up.With the development of The Times,especially in the context of the abolition of agricultural tax and the strengthening of the "suspended" regime,this system becomes more and more important for connecting the national system with the rural system.In this regard,this study selected the cadre resident system in Xi town,,as the research object,and adopted the research method of grounded theory to discuss how the cadre resident system in towns and townships operates,what characteristics it presents in the process of operation,and what impact it has on rural governance.Firstly,this study conducted a root analysis on the collected first-hand interview data and extracted it through layers of coding.It was concluded that the system of cadres stationed in the village of Xi Town presented a basic mode of " contingent governance " in the operation process.Contingent governance refers to the work mode of residence in the village with the characteristics of coping,adaptability,flexibility and strategy displayed by the grassroots township cadres in order to complete the tasks assigned by the town government and carry out work with discretion under the guidance of lack of clear and specific rules.Then,the study elaborates on the contingency governance mode,that is,the premise of contingency governance is the generalization of the functions of the cadres in the village and the low institutionalization of the work in the village.The core characteristics of this governance mode are the orientation of the "central task" of the work in the village and the selective execution of the work by the cadres outside the "central task".As well as the action strategy of resident cadres actively developing interpersonal relationship with village cadres,the constraint condition of the system is the relevant legal provisions of villagers’ self-governance and the social norms of rural society,and the guarantee mechanism is the resident cadres’ existing status of town government cadres and effective organizational accountability.The study further discusses the influence of the contingent governance of the cadres in the village on the rural governance in X Town.Based on Professor Xu Yong’s view that rural affairs are divided into "government affairs" and "village affairs",it is found that the flexible cadres stationed in the village effectively promote the completion of top-down government affairs,strengthen the relationship between the state and the village,coordinate the relationship between the township departments and maintain the stability of the rural society.But at the same time,it has brought some negative effects to the village affairs,which is embodied in the increasing separation of the village cadres from the masses,the aggravation of the administrative tendency of the village cadres and the uncertainty of the effect of the village residence caused by the way of temporary work.Based on this,this study proposed residency system initial design defect,balance will improve cadres cadres residency system will run the standardization and flexibility,and improve the cadres in the residency system will motivate and accountability mechanisms such as three main Suggestions,in order to make the township and village cadres daily residency work will better play the role of promoting rural governance.
