Title: Plight and Solution:An Exploration into the Peasant Workers′ Political Participation in the New Era
Abstract: As the elites among peasants,the peasant workers' level of political participation is an important indication to measure the grass-roots democracy in China.This essay,by studying the plight of the peasant workers' political participation in recent years,pointing out that the existence of urban-rural household registration system,the community prejudice and discrimination against them,the incomplete participatory mechanisms and the loss of interest organization on behalf of them make their participation caught in a vacuum as well as the expansion of non-institutionalized participation.Furthermore,it proposes to solve this plight by changing the urban and rural household registration system,making the peasant workers citizenized,improving the mechanisms of their political participation,and strengthening the institutional construction.
