Abstract:

Cross-domain governance in a governance community promotes regional common prosperity and the modernization of rural governance. The experience of the Daxiajiang Rural Revitalization Consortium from the perspective of organizational research shows that the decisive premise of effective governance is not the closeness-loose or tight-of the governance structure, but rather the dynamic optimization and functional adaptation of the governance structure to the organizational association. The governance structure must effectively connect the governance units, integrate the governance resources, and stimulate collaborative action, so as to shape the governance community into a combination of governance and domain. This study reveals the internal logic of optimizing organizational associations as a stable mechanism for building a governance community. It also provides a practical path for realizing a community where “all are responsible, all are accountable, and all are entitled to share” in rural governance.

Key words: optimization of organizational association model, combination of governance and domain, rural governance community
