Construction of Governance Community: Research on the Generative Mechanism of High-Quality Party Building Empowering Rural Social Resilience

A Narrative Analysis Based on the Qingyuan Party Building Model in Guangdong

Abstract

Against the dual background of a risk society and rural transformation, how to enhance the resilience of rural society to withstand shocks, adapt to changes, and achieve transformation is a key issue in implementing the Rural Revitalization Strategy and the "High-quality Development Project for Hundreds of Counties, Thousands of Towns, and Myriads of Villages" (hereinafter referred to as the "100-1000-10000 Project"). Traditional bureaucratic governance often faces the dilemma of excessive rigidity and insufficient resilience when dealing with rural complexities. Based on social-ecological system theory, this paper introduces the perspective of "Governance Community" and employs narrative analysis to deeply dissect the practical logic of Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, in leading rural revitalization with high-quality Party building. The study finds that high-quality Party building reconstructs the structural resilience, cultural resilience, and functional resilience of the countryside through three dimensions: "reshaping of organizational chains," "production of publicness," and "interest linkage mechanisms," respectively. The Qingyuan model demonstrates that the generative mechanism of Party building empowering rural social resilience lies in the Party organization transforming from a "suspended actor" of administrative power to a "core actor" of the governance community. By re-organizing dispersed atomized individuals, it realizes the leap from "unidirectional control" to "collaborative governance." This process not only resolves the crisis of rural involution but also provides a theoretically universal explanation and practical sample for good rural governance in the process of Chinese-style modernization.
