Social Policies for Rural Revitalization in East Asia:The Basic Experiences and an Overall Evaluation
Unlike Europe and the United States,where social policies are naturally oriented toward in-dustrialism and urban centers,East Asian countries,while focusing on urban social policies,have ac-tively taken policy measures in the face of the transformation and decline of the countryside,constructing a relatively systematic structure of rural social policies,and implementing long-term tracking and policy regulation of urban-rural relations.It emphasizes the policy implementation and linkage role of villages,communities and other territorial organizations and attaches importance to the construction of a social poli-cy system for special groups in villages.It also pays attention to the activation of the endogenous develop-ment power of rural organizations with developmental social policies,promotes the activation of villages through the path of cultural revitalization of villages,and forms an overall pattern of social policies for ur-ban and rural areas,accumulating rich policy practice experience in adjusting urban-rural relations and promoting balanced urban-rural social development through rural social policies.The social policy for ru-ral revitalization in East Asia has made important contributions to the improvement of the concept and ex-pansion of the research scope of the discipline of social policy in the world.
