The Dilemma of Implementing Agricultural Subsidy for Moderate-scale Farming and Weak Responsiveness of Village Governance:An Analysis from the Perspective of Policy Barriers
Agricultural subsidy policy is an important part of China's efforts to ensure food security.In practice,the government has invested a lot of subsidy resources,but the implementation of the subsidy policy is actually faced with complex and changeable reality.In the three provinces in the central region,the implementation of the moderate scale agricultural subsidy policy also encountered the condition of the attitude of the government to give subsidies and farmers to abandon subsidies.Based on the empirical facts of the three provinces,this paper discusses the condition of the implementation of agricultural subsidy policy and its formation mechanism,and makes an extended analysis to solve this question.The study found that the moderate scale agricultural subsidy policy in the three provinces encountered prominent policy barriers in the process of docking with policy objects,including policy text barriers,policy access barriers and policy implementation barriers.To break down policy barriers,strong responsive village-level governance is needed,including resolving policy text barriers by actively transforming policy discourse and promoting policy publicity,matching policy access barriers with local actual conditions through positive feedback on grassroots reality,and dispelling policy implementation barriers by taking actions and working for the people.However,village-level governance has obvious weak responsiveness,which is manifested as the lack of governance pressure,supervision pressure and resource pressure to respond to the demands of the masses.Weak response village governance not only fails to break policy barriers,but also further raises policy barriers.This paper holds that reducing policy barriers and reshaping responsive village governance are the key to better play the effect of relevant agricultural subsidy policies.
