Abstract:

Organizing and motivating the people to follow the Partyis important for mass organization reform. Mass organizations have become prominent in primary-level governance over the more than seven years’ reform. This was accomplished by activating local public spaces with social services, weaving self-governing mass organizations and social organizations, and offering sharing and thinking nodes for local people. Mass organizations are comfortably path-dependent, lack systematic strategic planning, not professionalized, etc., but they still organize effectively because they aretightly embedded in the grass-root society and reinforce social capital. They also explore the equilibrium between the political and the social by enabling the transformation of society and thereby reinforce the resilience of state governance and inject activity into a stable society.

Key words: primary-level governance, mass organizations, social organizing, embedding, bridging
