| With the development of socialist market economic system, citizenship rights have gradually come into scholars'view and formed a significant area that various disciplines pay heed to. The equalization of urban-rural citizenship rights has become a heated issue in recent years, which involves many complicated aspects and problems. Focusing on only the aspect of economic structure,-the dissertation studies the relationship between the evolvement of economic structure and the equalization of urban-rural citizenship rights since the founding of the PRC. In order to explain the impact of economic structure evolvement upon the equalization of urban-rural citizenship rights, the dissertation expounds on the issue chronologically and divides the evolvement into four periods.During the planned economic era, the strategy that heavy industry is prioritized led to too much emphasis on heavy industry in domestic economic structure and resulted in the gap and inequality between urban-rural citizenship rights. In the national and international environments and conditions, new China laid down the strategy with heavy industry as its focus. To ensure the success of the strategy, the country launched some systems fit for the planned economy, such as the planned purchase and supply system, household registration system, and the people's commune system. The systems worked to ensure the most remainders from scattered small-scale production. Urban-rural dualism began to exist and then remained for a long time. The priority for heavy industry and the inequality in urban-rural structure led to the great gap between urban-rural citizenship rights and inequality, and the inequality was retained for a long time. The inequality in urban-rural citizenship rights was not based on the status of citizenship, but on the "agriculture Hukou" and "non-agriculture Hukou" of the household registration system. Overall, citizenship rights inequality exists mainly between rural and urban areas. Within each area, the inequality was not obvious.From the viewpoint of economy development strategy, reform and opening-up policy means giving up the priority for heavy industry, with a view to securing comprehensive and harmonious development of domestic economy. The change of the priority for heavy industry made the planned purchase and selling system, the People's commune system, etc. exit the historical stage. The household registration system became less strict, urban-rural dualistic structure began to change, and the urban-rural relationship began to take a new form. From the viewpoint of economic system development, reform and opening-up aims to abandon prescriptive planned economy, introduce market economy, and realize the planned socialist commercial economy which, based upon state ownership, is combined by planned economy and market adjustment. During the initial stage of reform and opening-up, the country laid down economic policies with the aim of changing malformed economic structure, speeding up agriculture and light industry. Market allocated resources in a most efficient way. Policy and market both decided upon agriculture and light industry; therefore resources tilted towards rural areas, and agricultural and town enterprises gained substantial development. The adjustment and coordinated development of national economic structure during this period was demonstrated by the rise of rural economic status. The structure advanced the development of farmers'rights. As far as methods were concerned, land contract responsibility system, villager self-government, working in other provinces, etc. promoted the development of farmers'rights and narrowed the gap between the urban-rural citizenship rights.It is during the rise of the economic globalization that China launched the full-scale economic reform to develop socialist market economy. Various international and national factors made a significant impact upon the change of the country's economic structure. Promoted by the economic globalization and guided by the policy of development and opening up, international capital and enterprises gradually gathered in eastern coastal areas, and preferential policy and financial investment tilted towards eastern coastal areas, which resulted in the formation of coastal economic development zone and the rapid development of secondary industry and tertiary industry in the area. Meanwhile, the frame of all-dimensional reform and opening up came into being. Medium and big inland cities began to enjoy the preferential policy of opening up and saw the development of secondary industry and tertiary industry. National economic structure therefore changed greatly once again. The adjustment of economic structure was beneficial to cities while it had a dual impact on the rural economy. Because agriculture was basic industry which had all along been supported by the country, it had realized rapid development, but township enterprises began to shrink, which forced a great number of farmers to work in other provinces. The change of economic structure led to the bidirectional feature in the equalization of urban-rural citizenship rights.In the second period of industrialization, China saw rapid development of national economy and society. The base for urban-rural dualism, which posed a bottleneck for further development of market economy, collapsed. In order to settle a number of problems which arose in the development of market economy and society faced, China put forth overall-planned development strategy in the new period. Guided by the strategy, the structure of national economy was further coordinated, prioritized and updated; urban and rural economy and society are developed in unity, therefore strengthening the trend of equalization of urban and rural citizenship rights.Evolution of economic structure, reveals the development of relations between citizenship rights and economic structure between urban and rural citizenship plays a basic and decisive role in the various countries for this formulation and implementation of strategies and related systems and policies, leading to economic restructuring and urban and rural areas structural changes, which led to the problem of urban and rural citizens have equal rights and changes. The urban-rural dual structure of citizenship rights (status of relations) based on the structure of urban and rural areas is the urban-rural dual structure of citizenship rights part of the structure and an important guarantee for the two influence each other. Thus, it is the most important feature that the citizenshipd rights in China are the development of urban-rural citizenship rights change in the structure of citizenship rights. In China Citizenship Rights are the gradual development, and fundamental changes in economic structure to adapt to, conducive to political stability. This was mainly due to the development of citizenship rights and the fundamental interests of the country, the fundamental objectives and major tasks is consistent. It is built on the basis of adequate material security. It is the best time to get the whole society under the conditions of identity, and thus the development of low cost. Based on the analysis, and further summed up from the inequality between urban and rural areas of citizenship rights to equal development of the basic features and characteristics of China's development model of citizenship rights.From the viewpoint of politics and political sociology, the policies and strategies which lead to the major adjustment economic structure show political power, based on the era's theme and basic conditions for national development, the nation's essential benefits, most significant objects, most imminent tasks, etc. utilizes various resources and power, puts forward development strategies and policies, and therefore causes various problems and phenomena in China's citizenship rights development. The main effect of political power upon citizenship rights is manifested mainly in two ways, indirect and direct, namely a way of laying down significant development strategies and policies to promote economic structure adjustment to influence the development of citizenship rights, and the other way of laying down relevant policies to directly influence the development of citizenship rights.
