Land And Politics

Land is a political issue.This paper is an ideal exploration of "land politics".Different from the deconstruction path of the property right paradigm and based on the internal process and extension of collective land system practice,this paper tries to explain the path and mechanism of land politicization and reveals the deep foundation and evolutionary logic of grassroots political order,so as to answer the basic question of how the good governance order of complex grassroots society can be possible.Land is the starting point of politics.In the view of the village,the land is the object of peasants' production and daily life.In the practical relationship between farmers and land,the village society realizes reproduction,and the social life of land gradually unfolds.The land and the village form the ontological relation,and present as the land order.The land order not only absorbs and precipitates the political content of village life,but also needs to face and respond to the realization of the land value in use,so it is associated,public and dynamic.The land order defines the relationship between the farmers and the collective,the state and the market,and endowed with a strong political heritage.Along with the practice context of the collective land system,the politicization of the land reconstructs the reproduction mechanism of grass-roots social order and exceeds the original meaning of the land.The politicization of land not only activates the village society through political process,but also integrates it into the national political control and market transformation process.First of all,the land political process is the basis of the politicization of the land,and the land is politicized to embed the depth of the grass-roots society.The process of land politics is the practice of collective land system,in which the peasants are gradually generated to regulate and collocate the land order.The life politics precipitated in the land order is brought into political process,and the political cohesion and precipitation are realized through the mechanism of subject mobilization,contradiction activation and "balance accounting".The process of land politics breaks the narrowness of the relationship between farmers and land,and breeds the grassroots political community with the "peasant collective" as the core,and activates the collective autonomy.Secondly,the land political system is the development of land politicization,which gives the land politics to the height of national politics.The politicization of land remaining and land space defined the resource flow pattern between farmers and the state,thus inhibiting resources dissipation and strengthening farmers' political identity.Through the practice context of the collective land system,the political efficiency of the land political process is transformed into the basis of national political regulation,thus constructing the political identity of the village and the country.The grass-roots social order is integrated into the political system and becomes the product of the political system cycle.Thirdly,the political identity of the village and the country constructs the political space of land marketization,and the practice context of collective land system becomes the political channel of land marketization.The collective not only maintains the land retreating order through internal market regulation,but also maintains the land development order through external market regulation.The collective resilience has cushioned the fragmentation of village society and the barrier to national politics,and maintains the stability and justice of the rural land transformation order.The politicization of land expands the practical context of the collective land system and demonstrates the collective autonomy.The collective rooted in the flexible land order promotes the effective realization of land value and political sublimation.Based on the political control of the land order,the collective embedding villages while avoiding locking,extending to the state while avoiding submerging,and facing the market while avoiding absorption.Collective integrate farmers interests expression,national political needs and land market differentiation,with the attitude of initiative to adapt to the complex and changing rural society reality.It leads to grassroots political community full of rich inclusiveness and openness.Along with the practice context of the collective land system,the politicization of the land embodies the thick political nature,and has a strong tendency of order integration.The heavy political nature has laid the foundation for good governance at the grassroots level,activate the political justice which is deeply rooted in the mind of the people,therefore,the political subjectivity of the peasants has been fully released.In order to respond to the land conflicts in the grass-roots society,the state has promoted the transformation of the political land to the right land.Land is becoming a problem of farmers' rights.The land of power has suppressed the collective autonomy,resulting in the political process rupture and political system imbalance,which has split the political relations between the peasants and the collective and the state.The land order is in disorder,breaking and out of control.The land marketization has been driven directly into the country,which has led to the collective "political and economic separation".The collective political life is coming to an end and land became increasingly "depoliticized".Faced with the complicated reality of rural grassroots society and gradual transition,it is necessary to give collective land system certain practical space and rediscover the political nature of the land,which is based on the dialectical thinking of good governance at the grass-roots level.This is the fundamental way to reverse the political imbalance and build a good governance at the grassroots level.
