客观地讲,近年来国家采取的取消农业税、实施各种惠农政策以及推行乡镇综合配套改革等一系列措施确实起到了一定的作用,不过,基层政权功能异化和结构性退化的问题却并未得到有效解决。与税费改革之前相比,问题的表现形式略有不同。归纳起来有这样两种倾向:一是基层政权的“悬浮化”。取消农业税之后,很多中西部缺乏资源、经济发展相对较差地区的基层政权,其收入来源主要靠国家的转移支付,它们会把主要精力放在如何维持自身的生存运转。对于向农民提供公共产品和公共服务,既没有能力,也没有动力。在这种情况下,基层政权与农民的关系日益疏离,逐渐成为“悬浮”于农村社会之上的一级政权。 Objectively speaking, in recent years, the series of measures taken by the state such as the abolition of agricultural tax, the implementation of various preferential agricultural policies and the implementation of comprehensive supporting reforms in towns and cities have indeed played a certain role. However, the issue of functional alienation and structural deterioration of the grassroots government has not yet taken shape Get an effective solution. The form of the problem is slightly different from before the tax reform. To sum up, there are two kinds of tendencies: First, the “suspension” of grassroots power. After the abolition of the agricultural tax, many grassroots political powerhouses in the central and western regions, which lacked resources and whose economic development was relatively poor, relied mainly on the state’s transfer payments. They mainly focused on how to maintain their own existence and operation. There is neither ability nor motivation for providing public goods and public services to farmers. Under such circumstances, the relations between the grassroots political power and the peasantry are increasingly alienated and gradually become the first power of “suspension” in rural society.
