Social Stratification and Interest Expression in Urban Grass-roots Governance
The interest expression of urban communities is the most substantial community participation form,significant for grassroots governance.Based on the CGSS2010 data,this paper explores the mediating influence mechanism that the stratum division of urban communities shows on relevant interest expression from the angle of analysis paradigm of stratum theory.Our research indicates that much difference exists when it comes to the interest expression of various strata in urban communities and social organizations play a mediating role of some degree in the process.Compared with the lower social stratum,the upper social stratum and the new middle stratum have a higher initiative for institu-tional interest expression and exercise an evident positive impact on institution-al interest expression through the trust in social organizations whereas the new middle stratum should be inclined to non-institutional interest expression due to its lack of trust in social organizations.Thus,it is important to guide the healthy grow-up of social organizations and care about the smooth channels for institutional interest expression.Also,it is necessary to increase social cap-itals and improve the performance of grassroots social governance through so-cial participation via trust in social organizations.
