Abstract

The theory of collaborative governance emphasizes participation and cooperation, aiming to solve complex social problems, promote citizen participation, community autonomy, and innovative development of public policies. This theory also plays a very important role in grassroots governance in China. The purpose of this article is to further explore the significance of collaborative governance theory in the future response of grassroots governments to innovative development by studying a representative grassroots innovation case in China. This will help reflect the interests and concerns of all parties, establish a stable social environment, and promote sustainable social development. This study mainly uses semi-structured interviews to visit and collect data at the grassroots level of the case community. Finally, based on theoretical background and interview results, this study analyzes and summarizes effective strategies for innovative development of grassroots governance. Strategies include emphasizing the application of internet technology, strengthening talent cultivation, and enhancing cooperation to expand resources.
