The Hypothetical Bureaucratic Relationship of Rural Grassroots Governance and Its Paradox of Rule of Law:Qualitative Study Based on the"Grassroots-Hierarchical"Framework
The relationship between village governance and township governance is an important proposition in the process of grassroots governance and its legalization.By constructing the"grassroots-bureaucratic"binary framework,it is not difficult to find that township governments and villagers'committees are both grass-roots governance organizations with duality.However,the bureaucracy of the villagers'committee can only be established in the sense of fiction,because it originates from a kind of psychological tacit understanding in rural grassroots governance.In essence,it is an"imaginary"bureaucratic relationship jointly promoted by the identity transformation appeal of the leader of the villagers'committee,the desire for political power and the emotional control strategy of the township government.Under the"organizational field"theory of new institutionalism,the leaders of villagers'committees try to resort to the reproduction of triple order resources in the"organizational field"of rural grassroots governance,namely,the pursuit of identity order in cultural-cognitive elements,the pursuit of profit-sharing order in regulatory elements and the pursuit of party and government order(power order)in normative elements,and institutionalize the"hypothetical"bureaucratic relationship.Due to the separation pattern of"village governance"and"township administration"with norms and value reasons that are difficult to break through,this kind of effort can only be in vain.
