青年参与城市社区治理共同体建构的实践逻辑与运作机制
The Practical Logic and Operational Mechanisms of Youth Participation in the Construction of Urban Community Governance Communities:A Multi-Case Analysis Based on the"Community Youth Action"Initiative
摘要
Abstract
Youth participation in community governance serves as a critical pathway to advance grassroots governance modernization and construct a social governance community characterized by co-construction,co-governance,and co-sharing.Currently,China's community governance confronts challenges including the hollowing-out of youth participation mechanisms,simplification of engagement modalities,and fragmentation of institutional support.Mass organizations such as the Communist Youth League further demonstrate deficiencies in resource integration and mobilization capacity.Against this backdrop,the imperative to invigorate youth engagement through organizational,socialized,and emotional pathways while optimizing governance efficacy constitutes dual theoretical and practical challenges.This study focuses on the"Community Youth Action"initiative,aiming to elucidate the inherent logic and operational mechanisms of youth participation in constructing community governance collectives,thereby providing theoretical foundations and policy insights for overcoming youth engagement dilemmas and enhancing governance effectiveness. Employing a"Structure-Action-Emotion"analytical framework for governance communities,this research adopts a multi-case content analysis approach,selecting ten exemplary cases from Shanghai,Ningbo,Qingdao,and Xining.Through field investigations,literature review,and digital data analysis,it systematically examines the practical processes and operational mechanisms of youth participation in community governance community construction.The findings reveal that the construction of youth-involved governance communities follows a progressive logic of"structural optimization-action integration-emotional connection":(1)Through the mechanism of"Party-building leading League-building,"fragmented youth governance entities are reorganized to optimize community governance structures,establishing a rights-responsibility community where"all bear duties";(2)Socialized operations and project-based management integrate youth governance resources to forge an action community where"all fulfill obligations";(3)By cultivating emotional bonds and reciprocal interaction mechanisms,an affective community of"shared benefits"emerges through the fusion of rationality and emotional engagement. The study demonstrates that the construction of community governance collectives transcends mere aggregation of structural,behavioral,and emotional elements,instead constituting an iterative process of mutual constitution:Institutionalized governance structures provide organizational foundations for youth participation;socialized actions mobilize resources and activate youth agency;while emotional bonds reinforce network stability through identity formation and trust cultivation.Theoretically,this research transcends traditional structure-action dualism by introducing emotional governance as an analytical lens,revealing emotion's mediating role between structure and action-serving both as social adhesive in governance practices and core driver for structural optimization and sustainable action.This tripartite model not only enriches theoretical understanding of social governance communities but also provides novel perspectives for explaining the sustainability of youth participation,highlighting the unique value of emotional governance in grassroots modernization. The operational mechanisms of youth participation in community governance communities offer significant implications for grassroots governance innovation.First,organizational empowerment under Party leadership should be strengthened through cross-hierarchical and inter-departmental collaborative networks to address fragmented participation channels.Second,demand-oriented project management systems should be established to activate synergistic effects among market forces,social organizations,and youth through social mobilization,enabling precise resource allocation.Third,the soft power of emotional governance requires emphasis,fostering youth's community belonging through cultural identity cultivation,benefit reciprocity mechanisms,and public value creation.关键词
