Features: The first chapter of this book was written by XU Xiuli and YU Keping. It is the final report of the Ford Foundation-funded research project "A Comparative Study of Rural Governance in China in the 1920s-1930s and the 1980s-1990s: Taking Ding County, Zouping County, and Jiangning County as Case Studies." The research covers rural governance at the county, township, and village levels, with a particular focus on village governance. The remaining chapters were completed by researchers from higher education institutions and research organizations in the three case study locations. They referenced extensive literature and conducted field surveys to gather invaluable data. Additionally, the book proposes reasonable suggestions for addressing issues in rural governance. This book holds significant academic reference value for researchers of China's rural issues and can also provide insights for relevant departments in formulating corresponding rural development policies.
