Research On The Problem And Countermeasures Of "Micro Corruption" Governance For Rural Grassroots Cadres

Since the 18 th Communist Party of China(CPC)National Congress,China has made remarkable achievements and accumulated important experience in the fight against corruption.The fight against corruption,as the most thorough self revolution of our party,is seen as a crucial battle in the great struggle of our party in the new era.However,at the same time,we should also note that corruption still exists and there are a large number of phenomena at some levels.Corruption,as a social problem that intersects multiple groups and causes,has always troubled people.The frequent occurrence of corruption can affect people’s trust in the Party and government,which is not conducive to good social governance.Scholars from various countries around the world have combined theories from various disciplines such as politics,management,economics,and law to seek solutions to the causes and methods of corruption,forming a systematic set of measures to solve corruption problems.There are many valuable experiences worth learning from.However,with the continuous development of the economy and society,the forms and types of corruption have also undergone diverse changes.Traditional anti-corruption measures are no longer sufficient to cope with the current changing corruption methods,and need to be improved in combination with social reality.It is understood that there are currently a large number of corruption at the township level and below,which can be roughly divided into embezzlement of others’ property,public funds and private deposits,power and money transactions,failure to fulfill responsibilities seriously,and preferentially treatment for relatives and friends.The "micro corruption" in rural areas has the prominent performance of "seeking personal gain by power" and violating moral customs,and has the characteristics of multiplicity,diversity,group,and smallness."Micro corruption" is caused by micro power,which is essentially the alienation of public power.If the small and micro power is excessively concentrated and goes beyond a specific range,it will increase the corruption of rural grassroots cadres,such as filling their pockets.At present,the main problems in the prevention and control process of "micro corruption" among rural grassroots cadres include,embezzlement and false claims in benefiting farmers projects,insufficient party spirit cultivation of rural grassroots cadres,self interest psychology promoting power and money transactions,misplaced political performance views of some cadres,and inadequate implementation of the system due to excessive human relations in rural areas.The formation of "micro corruption" of rural grassroots cadres is related to objective factors such as the blurring of administrative and autonomous boundaries,weak supervision,failure of the rule of law and system,etc.Rural grassroots cadres have multiple identities.They are not only a cadre but also the "economic man".When the system fails,the "economic man" identity will make them no longer strictly abide by the code of conduct,and it is easy to use their power to make profits for themselves.Corruption begins to occur.The formation of corruption is also related to the lack of moral governance,weak awareness of integrity among governance subjects,and the prevalence of formalism and bureaucracy.When "rationality" takes the initiative,the thinking of rural grassroots cadres is prone to deviation.Under the influence of self-interest psychology,"free rider" and rent-seeking phenomena are extremely easy to occur.The low economic income level of rural grassroots cadres can also trigger their imbalanced psychology,leading to the occurrence of "micro corruption".In order to effectively control the "micro corruption" of rural grassroots cadres and prevent the recurrence of corruption,attempts can be made from the following aspects,1.Strengthen the mechanism for restricting the power operation of rural grassroots cadres,establish a multi subject supervision and prevention system in rural areas,improve laws and regulations related to agriculture and rural areas,build a precise accountability system for rural grassroots cadres,and improve incentive mechanisms.2.Strengthen the awareness of the rural masses as the main body of supervision,broaden the channels for the people to reflect their opinions and suggestions,construct good consultation methods within the village,and strengthen the promotion of law popularization and public opinion supervision among the rural masses.3.Improve the education of clean governance for rural grassroots cadres,strengthen the education of party discipline,national laws,and the construction of a clean culture for rural grassroots cadres,and regularly carry out the construction of their family style.
