Features: This book is primarily based on the experience of rural Zhejiang, employing political sociology methods to study the game theory issues in rural governance. It analyzes the conflicts and coordination dynamics during the operation of rural governance, as well as their social foundations and political social consequences. This approach aims to grasp the correlation between various games and rural governance, and to provide policy-oriented suggestions for improving rural governance and promoting the harmonious development of rural society. The book is divided into two parts:
Part 1: "Theoretical Research" focuses on theoretical analysis of class games, factional competition, rural interactions, and the game dynamics between the village Party branch and the village committee using normative research methods.
Part 2: "Case Studies" employs empirical research methods to conduct case studies and analyses of typical game dynamics in rural governance operations.
Here, it is particularly noteworthy that all the authors of this book are from Zhejiang, they live in Zhejiang, work in Zhejiang, and the survey samples are also from Zhejiang. The analysis and conclusions of this book, to some extent, can be described as a description, analysis, summary, and refinement of the "Zhejiang experience." Therefore, the research findings are inevitably influenced by the "Zhejiang experience." On one hand, it reflects the "local knowledge" and regional characteristics of Zhejiang; on the other hand, it also reveals the limitations brought by regional experiences.
