The Third Sphere in Rural Governance: From Cooperatives to Rural Revitalization

扫码查看
Rural governance in China has the significant characteristic of relying on the third sphere, in which state and society complement and interact with each other. The Chinese Revolution and the Chinese Communist Party’s entry into the countryside brought a new operational logic to the third sphere. During the Cooperative Movement, labor experts emerged in the process of agricultural production in local village communities to become the pivotal figures in the operation of the third sphere. After the Rural Reform, those pivotal figures became the village leaders who knew how the market economy works and could organize collective activities to benefit their communities. In the present situation, when the nation is trying to find a way to revitalize the countryside, the third sphere, which closely relied on the endogenous energy of local village communities, can still exert a positive influence, provided that the top-down erosion of the third sphere by bureaucratization and formalism is avoided.
