Obstacles and implementation paths of social organizations' participation in social governance under the rule of law:"the third type of living law" guided by the Fengqiao experience
Social organizations participating in social governance through the rule of law are mainly faced with two major obstacles:limited development space and insufficient endogenous power. The experience of Fengqiao demonstrates that the voluntary,spontaneous,and autonomous participation of social organizations in social gover-nance aligns with the needs of modern society's rule of law. Various types of social organizations actively engaging in social governance have become the most crucial carriers for innovation and transformation under the new era's Fengqiao experience,embodying a"the third type of living law"of social governance. Social organizations partici-pating in social governance by law have formed three major paths:from voluntary to recognized,from regulation to practice,and from framework to mechanism,which represent practical achievements in improving the level and capacity of social governance under the belief and culture of the rule of law within governance communities. Fur-ther consolidation and optimization of these achievements involve addressing the pain points,bottlenecks,and challenges faced by social organizations in participating effectively in social governance,achieving resonance among diverse governance subjects. Guided by the Fengqiao experience,efforts should be made to support,guide, and encourage social organizations to focus on grassroots governance,activate endogenous power,and broaden the legal space for their development and activities.
