Abstract:

The construction of a social governance community is first and foremost a theoretical issue, before it becomes a practical one. Theoretically, it raises two questions: why and how the governance of modern society should return to the discursive framework of community? Practically, it demands clarification of the logic through which Party building can effectively guide the formation of such a community. Existing theories often refer to community as a concept belonging to pre-modern social structures. Identity construction, shared values, and cooperative participation endow modern community with governance connotations. Rather than a single entity, the Social Governance Community is a shared framework of collective action, comprised of action units, guiding principles, operational capacities, and governance mechanisms. The political leadership, organizational strength, service capacity, and resource allocation capability of primary-level Party organizations provide the driving force for the collective action of the Social Governance Community, thereby strengthening its practical efficacy.

Key words: leading by Party Building, social governance community, common action capacity
