Implementation Path of Legalization in Rural Governance in China

Abstract

The rule of law serves as the foundation for constructing modern rural governance mechanisms and stands as an essential avenue toward achieving modern governance. Influenced by unique natural environments and diverse cultural customs, remote rural areas in China still face challenges in the construction of rural legal foundations, the inadequacy of legal systems in rural governance, insufficient public legal services in rural areas, and a lack of institutional mechanisms for diverse participation in the legalization of rural governance. To address these issues, there is a necessity to prioritize the most pressing needs of farmers. This necessitates focusing on building a comprehensive legal system in agricultural domains, emphasizing the status of village regulations and customary laws, strengthening rural public legal service systems, innovating methods of legal education, and fostering a legal atmosphere. This approach aims to expedite the process of legalizing rural governance.
