Rural development model and influence of endogenous power in Guangdong Province, China

Abstract

Innovating the rural reform, development path and stimulating the endogenous of rural development are conducive to solving the problems lying in “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” comprehensively in the aspects of theoretical innovation and practical guidance. In this study, the research paradigm of “literature review + empirical analysis of investigation cases + theoretical framework analysis + countermeasures and suggestions” is used for analysing Guangdong rural development models and the influencing factors of the endogenous power of rural development. Firstly, the domestic and foreign studies on rural development models and endogenous power are summarized. Secondly, the current situation of Guangdong rural development is statistically analysed from the aspects of new rural construction, rural social service system, comprehensive rural reform and income increase of farmers. Thirdly, five Guangdong rural development models are classified and sorted out through the investigation by the research team for more than 1 year, and 9 typical cases in Guangdong selected from the investigated materials are empirically analysed. Fourthly, efforts are made to analyse the internal logical relations among rural property right system reform, modern agricultural management system and mechanism, and rural grass root governance innovation and to analyse their influencing factors by establishing the theoretical model and paradigm of “supporting foundation - key factors - guarantee mechanism”. Finally, several countermeasures and suggestions are proposed for promoting rural development and accelerating agricultural modernization by integrating abovementioned factors from aspects of early and pilot implementation and expansion of the promotion of practical achievements.
