This book focuses on the power structure and nature of rural society, and discusses the role of the mobilization system centered on state authority, the rights definition system, the organizational system, legal responsibilities and the "construction" of integrated status, etc., In an attempt to reveal the structural and institutional sources of rural conflicts. The author believes that the definition and realization of rights in grassroots society is still weakly related to the state, but closely related to the governance principles of local authoritative units; China's "modern state-building" has not yet brought about fundamental changes in the governance structure, principles and norms of grassroots society towards modernity.
