Distribution of Administrative Power:Typed Practice of Village Group Relationship and Its Shaping Mechanism
The interplay between village groups represents a fundamental element in the fabric of rural governance,with their dynamics significantly influencing the quality and efficacy of rural governance structures.Through field investigations in Hubei,Guangxi,and Shanxi,this study identifies three predominant relationship paradigms among village groups:the"strong village,weak group"structure,the"strong group,weak village"structure,and the"village-group balance"structure.These relationship models are shaped by a tripartite logic consisting of social,economic,and administrative logics,which in turn,configure the varying governance capacities of village groups.The social logic,centered around village social associations,the economic logic,focused on the allocation of collective property rights,and the administrative logic,anchored in state intervention,collectively delineate the governance competencies of village groups.Consequently,the divergent governance functions of administrative villages and villager groups are rooted in their distinct abilities to allocate resources,essentially reflecting the differential distribution of governance rights among village groups.As the primary agents of village governance,village groups collectively form a cohesive unit integral to the governance architecture at the village level.The distribution of governance responsibilities among village groups is thus a pivotal factor in comprehending the variations in village-level governance.
