State Intervention and Local Action:The Tension of Endogenous Rural Development and Its Resolution
The development of grassroots society is inseparable from the timely intervention and effective guidance of the state.In the context of rural endogenous development,the state's intervention and effective leadership in rural construction serve as a key avenue and fundamental content.Nevertheless,there exist certain realistic tensions that pose challenges to the practice of rural endogenous development.This paper,from the perspective of new endogenous development,examines the specific methods of state intervention and rural autonomous action in rural development practice,and analyzes the tension between state intervention and local action in this process.The paper examines the concrete manifestations of four tensions in rural development practice:the difficulty in integrating national macro policies with grassroots action strategies,the tension between administrative heteronomy and local autonomy,the tension between key assistance and equal investment in resource allocation,and the unclear boundary of state intervention in farmers'actions.To address these tensions,we propose a new endogenous development mechanism for the state and farmers.By cultivating farmers'self-organization,improving resource allocation methods,and establishing super-local actor networks,we can alleviate the conflict of tension and promote the coordination and interaction between state intervention and local actions.This mechanism aims to jointly promote rural areas to a new stage of endogenous development.
