• W3124056170 abstract "IntroductionLong-time observers of China’s rural governance reforms may be excused for sometimes being frustrated at the glacial pace of change in their field (Unger 2012). The Chinese countryside is characterized by a (still) rising tide of social unrest and tense state-society relations. In other words, the situation that Dali Yang (1996: 185) described at the end of the 1980s, when he called rural China ‘the land of discontent’, is still prevalent today. Veteran scholars of village governance in particular have at times been exasperated by the fact that many of the problems originally identified 10 or more years ago have yet to be addressed in a conclusive way (O’Brien and Han 2009). Some have even proposed moving on to other topics deemed more relevant in contemporary rural China than village elections, which were once the hallmark of political change at the grassroots level. However, taking a long-term view also provides us a chance to answer the overarching question posed in this volume, namely whether China’s central leadership is willing and able to initiate a paradigm shift in rural governance. Or is the leadership simply trying to ‘muddle through’ indefinitely? This chapter attempts to answer these questions by studying one crucial subfield of rural governance: village self-administration. Against the backdrop of decollectivization and a loss of party-state control over the countryside in the 1980s, village self-administration was introduced as a means to stabilize statesociety relations and regain control. As experiments over the following decade matured, a new version of the relevant legislation, the Organic Law on Village Committees, was passed in 1998. Subsequently, a new round of local experiments and regional codification started, leading to another revision of the Organic Law in 2009/2010. In other words, each of the three reform-era decades produced its own version of village self-administration. Taking a longer-term perspective on this evolution of the norms and institutions of village governance helps us to understand the shifting political agendas of the central leadership. The rest of this chapter is organized as follows: First, the next section provides a brief overview of village governance reforms leading up to the most recent round of national legislation. Second, the sources of rising discontent and rural unrest are examined. Third, the chapter takes a close look at recent legislation on villageself-administration to answer the questions raised above: Is there a paradigm shift in rural governance as epitomized by village self-administration? Or is the central leadership simply attempting to muddle through? Finally, the conclusion sums up and contextualizes the findings." @default.
