Abstract:

The knowledge about the kind of Chinese village-level democracy is the product of the practice of village-level democratic politics, and reflects the practice. Any kind knowledge of this field inevitably has practice value, which also guides the development of village-level democratic politics. If the knowledge can’t objectively reflect the reality of the field, it will not provide the right guidance for this task. Therefore, it is very important theoretical work to get the knowledge about Chinese village-level democracy, and western democratic theory is valuable to the work.
