The Practical Types and Operational Logic of Rural Collective Economy from the Perspective of Urban-Rural Relations
The significant regional disparities in the extent of labor detachment from collective land and in the degree of integration between industrial and commercial capital and collective land have shaped three types of rural collective economies in China:a distribution-oriented collective economy dominated by closely intertwined urban-rural relations,an intermediary collective economy led by transitional urban-rural relations,and a social collective economy influenced by loosely connected urban-rural relations.These different types of rural collective economies follow distinct logics in practice,resulting in regional differences in their development paths.The distribution-oriented collective economy is established on the foundation of sustained industrial and commercial capital moving to rural areas,with collective organizations and members engaging in negotiations around the distribution of collective profits.The intermediary collective economy emerges with the local modernization of agriculture,where collective organizations,contractors,and operators form localized interactive rules focused on maximizing agricultural production efficiency.The social collective economy forms against the backdrop of persistent poverty,with collective organizations concentrating on providing rural public goods and services,becoming the core content of social governance.The typological refinement and analysis of the diverse practices of China's rural collective economy,on an intermediate scale,not only provide a theoretical basis for innovative localized development models of rural collective economies in different regions but also further explore the value connotation of the rural collective economy in aiding China's progress towards common prosperity.
