Features: The rise of rural non-policy public organizations to the forefront of grassroots public management is both a product of China's political system reform and an inevitable outcome of the socialization of public management. As the governing subject of autonomous public spaces, the structural forms and operational processes of rural non-governmental public organizations reflect the development trends and value orientations of grassroots politics. Among these, maintaining a institutional balance between the state and farmers is the prerequisite for the development of grassroots politics. This book explores the historical development of rural non-governmental public organizations and the public space mechanisms of grassroots governance, arguing that the organic unity of state leadership and villager autonomy is the realistic path for the development of contemporary rural grassroots politics, as well as a powerful tool for improving rural governance performance.
