Abstract:

Abstract：The operation of the township grassroots regime is always the issue of academic concern． This paper is based on the field survey data of Wheat Town in Central China and takes its case of “afforestation” as the “text” for analysis． Under the pressure system and during the posttax fiscal period， Wheat Town hoisted its routine work up to the centraltask level and then put the central task into practice through campaigning to get the planned tasks accomplished． This governing method of “Administration Absorbed into Campaigning” is in fact a temporary behavioral choice with simplified utilization of the traditional “movement/campaign” as a resource during the time when the grassroots regime has lost its absolute power while the fundamental power is yet  to set up and the administrative operation is short of resources． Such governance practice is， however， of little effect．
