Features: Whether the reform of local government institutions can proceed smoothly largely determines the success or failure of the national administrative system and institutional reform. The reform of township government institutions is the cornerstone of local government institutional reform and faces the greatest difficulties and resistance. This book selects representative townships in southern and northern Jiangsu for in-depth case studies and theoretical refinement, revealing the various contradictions faced in China's township institutional reform. It explores the obstacles and difficulties of local, especially township, institutional reform from the perspective of both individual and universal characteristics, seeks countermeasures and strategies for advancing township institutional reform, and provides theoretical and practical references for underdeveloped regions in China to achieve leapfrog development through township institutional reform.
