Research on influencing factors and paths of endogenous rural development from perspective of actor networks——fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis based on 32 cases in Fujian Province
At present,the implementation of China's rural revitalization strategy has achieved obvious results,but the problems of insufficient endogenous power and capacity in rural development are highlighted.How to promote the endogenous rural development has become a hotspot of concern for both governmental decision-making departments and academics.The article combined the actor network theory and the new endogenous development theory to construct a theoretical analysis framework,and used the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis method to analyze the cases of 32 villages and communities in Fujian Province,to study the influencing factors and path combinations of endogenous rural development.The results showed that:(1)The endogenous rural development was subject to the combined effects of local internal and external forces,and human and non-human actors.The consistency levels of variables such as industrial foundation and government support exceeded 0.90,which were the necessary conditions for endogenous rural development.The consistency levels of variables such as party building leadership,elite drive,resource endowment,and technical support were between 0.80 and 0.90,which were the sufficient conditions for endogenous rural development.(2)The factors formed seven paths of endogenous rural development,which could be categorized into internally-led,externally-driven,internal and external linkage type according to the differences between matches of the factors.This paper expanded the research perspective of endogenous rural development and provided empirical reference for finding the path of endogenous rural development.Based on the above findings,policy implications for promoting endogenous rural development were proposed as follows:(1)Based on the whole situation,matching human actors and non-human actors to stimulate the dynamics of endogenous rural development.(2)According to the local conditions,interacting internal and external factors to enhance the capacity of endogenous rural development.(3)Optimizing the support of the government to guide the development,and to create a pattern of integrated development,so as to strengthen the core elements of endogenous rural development.
