Governance Embedded in Life:The Research of the Realization Path of Rural Public Life Governance in Metropolitan Suburbs
Rural public life is an important part of a better life for farmers.Its development and organization are key indicators to measure the level of rural governance.This article takes Shanghai's suburban rural governance experience as a typical case,and based on the perspective of system and life analysis,analyzes the path to achieve good public life governance in metropolitan suburban villages,the roles played by different subjects in public life governance,and the relationship between the state and peasants.The research found that the production of public space under the intervention of the state,the delivery of public services under the coordination of social organizations,and the participation of villagers in action constitute the triple realization path of rural public life governance,and jointly shape the current state of rural public life.As rural governance evolves,the power structure must be integrated into the everyday lives of the people,shifting from its administrative absorption of society to bridging the gap between the formal system and the lived reality.Through this integration,individuals develop a sense of national identity as they achieve a better quality of life,while the state reconstructs its power at the rural grassroots level,effectively linking the nation with its citizens.This insight instructs us that to address the pragmatic challenge of an uneven public service supply structure,we must enhance the provision of rural public services,establish a diverse cooperative model for public life governance,and maximize the agency of peasants.
