Changes in Rural Simplified Governance:Background,Problems and Solutions
Urban-rural integration has brought about changes in the attributes of grass-roots governance affairs and challenged the hierarchical governance mechanism of township government and villagers'self-management.Embeddedness of information technology has facilitated the transformation of the simple governance,however,a system of technological simplification divorced from the needs of the entity gov-ernance would neglect the co-governance mechanisms for overlapping cross-boundary affairs,leading to a paradoxical pattern of grassroots governance in which formal clarity and practical ambiguity coexist.As a result,grassroots governance is faced with a dilemma in which,on the one hand,positive actions by higher levels of government are difficult to change the negative behaviors of grassroots organizations,and on the other hand,there are only a limited number of subjects cooperating in the process of resolving mat-ters at the grassroots level.The experience of technological empowerment in B-town in the suburbs of Beijing reveals that by strengthening the coordination of relations among multiple subjects,adding appro-priate governance elements and constructing a flat management mechanism according to the needs,it is possible to fill in the abortion of the capacity structure of grass-roots governance,promote the moderniza-tion of simplified governance,and realize the simplicity and high efficiency of cooperative governance.In order to realize the effective operation of the technology-supported simplified governance model,it is nec-essary to improve the elemental articulation and complementary governance mechanism,and to consoli-date the main-auxiliary structure.
