Practice Mechanism and Intrinsic Logic of Rule-based Autonomy:An Investigation Based on the"Four Deliberations and Two Openness"Working Method
At present,grassroots governance faces the practical dilemma of the virtualization of village autonomy,manifested specifically in the administrative absorption in organizational structure leading to the absence of village governance subjects,and the social disconnection in the organizational process resulting in insufficient participation of villagers.The working methool of the"four deliberations and two openness"has integrated village-level public affairs decision-making into the organizational procedures,activating grassroots democratic politics through institutionalized settings.Through the mechanisms of institutionalizing organizational mobilization,organizing village social organizations,standardizing village-level powers,and normalizing public expression,it achieves the diversification of governance subjects,the public nature of governance processes,and the maximization of public interests in governance results.The working methool of the"four deliberations and two openness"is an effective form of administrative activation of autonomy,capable of realizing the institutionalization and substantialization of grassroots democracy,presenting a practical process of whole-process people's democracy.
