Abstract:

In the advancement of grassroots democratic self-governance, the exertion of the people’s subjectivity is of vital importance. The innovative practice of “supervision by all” in Jingshan Town answers the question of how to return to and realize the people's subjectivity in the process of village affairs supervision. The transformation from collective consultation to collective supervision not only enhances the efficiency and transparency of village governance but also boosts villagers’ sense of participation and belonging. More importantly, this change highlights the value of people’s subjectivity. Villagers become the main body of village governance and participate in all links of decision-making, implementation, and supervision. This is meant to balance professionalism and democracy in village affairs supervision.

Key words: village affairs supervision, people’s subjectivity, the community of social governance, rural Governance
