Features: 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, focusing on rural issues and conducting a series of field investigations and research. Now, 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 engage in theoretical research, policy studies, and academic exchanges on China's local governance and public policies. This book emphasizes the analysis and elaboration of the foundation, driving forces, conditions, and pathways of China's local social and political transformation. It observes and understands the realities of grassroots social operations and the survival of lower-tier groups—from clans to villages, village committees, to townships; from farmers to village cadres to township cadres—from a micro perspective. This approach enables a better understanding of China's macro-system and overall society.
