Features: Based on first-hand data collected by dozens of experts and scholars through field investigations across various regions, this book delves into the deep state of rural farmers today. What are the root causes of China's rural development issues? Renowned experts and scholars, after years of investigation and research, provide compelling answers! A group of middle-aged and young scholars with shared interests have come together to conduct a series of field investigations and research centered on rural issues. Today, they have gathered at the "Research Center for Local Government and Public Policy," which primarily relies on academic resources within Jiangxi Province while leveraging domestic and international academic resources to conduct theoretical research, policy studies, and academic exchanges on Chinese local governance and public policy. This book focuses on analyzing and elaborating on the foundation, driving forces, conditions, and pathways of China's local social and political transformation. From clans to villages, from the Village Committee to townships, from farmers to village cadres to township cadres, it observes and understands the actual state of grassroots social operations and the survival of lower-tier groups from a micro perspective, thereby providing a better insight into and analysis of China's macro system and overall society.
