| Research Abstract |
People' s Republic of China has been witnessing unprecedented transformation process in the light of the state-society relations. This research project has aimed at finding how the society in contemporary China has penetrated into the state' s sphere, focusing bottom-up process of autonomous society into the state governance.
Since we signed the agreement with China Labour Institute in 2004 under the general scheme of this project, we have conducted joint research poll surveys on the behavior and awareness of trade unions directors at local grassroots level. 1811 samples from Beijing, Shanghai, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Guandong and other regions have been successfully collected and analyzed. Same sort of endeavor of scrutinizing grassroots level political leadership have been made at Sichuan Province. 200 samples of personal data of rural elites at County/Xian governments, congress and party branch including family background, academic achievement, career paths and even political awareness were obtained through joint research with Sichuan Academy of Social Science.
In order to put these first-hand research findings into the international comparison and reference, this project had organized the international conference at December 10th, 2007 in Tokyo under the title of 'Governance in grassroots China'. On this opportunity, this research project has been summarized through the discussion with scholars from the other regions and disciplines, and the principal result of this research is scheduled to be published by the Hosei University Press in this coming autumn.
