Abstract

Urban grassroots governance, as an important part of the national governance system, has shown different degrees of grid-based trends in China. The promotion of the grid-based management model is driven by traditional administrative forces but also reflects the important influence of regional resource endowments and social forces in the transformation of urban grassroots governance in China. This paper explores the combined effects of administrative pressure, gross per capita product, population density, social organizations, media coverage, and resident autonomy on the introduction of local government grid-based management policies by using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) on 15 representative district-level units in a national community governance innovation pilot project. The study found that administrative pressure, population density, and social organizations were consistent in the main representative models of grid-based management currently implemented in China, while two main urban grassroots governance models, the composite grid-based management model of government-society interaction and the government-led traditional grid-based management model, were summarized.
