Research on Ethnic Unity Construction and Grassroots Social Governance in Multiethnic Villages:Based on a survey of M Village in Yunnan border region
The objective of modernizing the country's governance capacity and system is predicated on the re-alization of grassroots social governance,with the construction of ethnic unity in border areas serving as its funda-mental cornerstone.M village,situated on the border of Yunnan Province and designated as a model village for national ethnic unity construction,has made remarkable strides in fostering such unity.Its operational logic can be summarized as follows:embedding party building into governance to establish a regional community;promot-ing cultural exchanges to cultivate an emotional community;and most importantly,utilizing industry as a catalyst to build an economic community that fosters multi-ethnic harmony and cohesion.Building upon achievements in national unity construction,M village's grassroots social governance focuses on industry development and new villagers'integration.The three types of elite governing villages-those led by present elite villagers,absent elite villagers,and present civilian villagers-have all played significant roles in advancing industry development,es-tablishing effective systems,and creating a conducive environment.
