Research On The Strategy Of Township Governments To Resolve Contradictions And Disputes In Rural Areas

Since the reform and opening up,the economy has developed rapidly,people’s quality of life has been continuously improved,and the social contradictions that have followed have become more complex and diverse.In rural areas,in recent years,with the advancement of urbanization construction and the construction of major projects such as highways,high-speed railways,and industrial parks,the expropriation of rural collective land has shown an upward trend year by year,and the disputes caused by the distribution of compensation for land expropriation have increased year by year,and the problem of protecting the rights and interests of especially married women has become increasingly prominent.The township government is at the last level of the bureaucratic system,and it is also the most direct and basic organ of state governance power that contacts the masses,which must not only complete the top-down work tasks,but also face the demands of the masses,which put forward higher requirements for the government’s governance ability.On the one hand,township governments complete political work tasks on the basis of "limited power and unlimited responsibility",in addition to doing a good job in their own resource allocation and personnel division of labor,they also need to form effective interaction with grass-roots autonomous organizations in order to better promote the implementation of higher-level policies and economic and social development.On the other hand,the growing number of contradictions and disputes in rural areas shows the characteristics of low flashpoint,high boiling point,diversified subjects,and wide influence,and under the pressure system of stability maintenance,the conflict between theory and reality,the conflict between system and practice has forced the township and town governments to more fully mobilize resources and integrate the forces of all parties to resolve contradictions and disputes and ensure the stability of the overall social situation.Based on the system guarantee and practical application of the township government in the process of handling conflicts and disputes,this article analyzes the disputes of married women in four villages in town B.Using the theory of resource dependence to analyse the relationship between town governments and village committee,which called township —village relationship,and the relationship within the village,and how the interaction between the township—village relationship and the relationship within the village affects the strategic choice of the township government to resolve rural social contradictions and disputes.Under the framework of the rule of law and the institutionalization,township governments selectively use one or more of the strategies such as people’s mediation,administrative decisions,and judicial compulsion to achieve the goal of maintaining stability while promoting the resolution of contradictions and disputes,summarizing the township government’s work in resolving rural contradictions and disputes,actively explore the implementation path of diversified solutions that combine the rule of law and flexible action strategies,and combined with the actual situation to put forward specific strategy and recommendations.
