Research on Rural Environmental Governance by Polycentric Theory

Xiaoya Li

Abstract


Rural environmental governance is a major move to improve the quality of life of the rural population. It is related
to multiple governance entities such as the government, the market, and society.This article uses polycentric theory to analyze
rural environmental governance. At present, rural environmental governance faces the challenges including weak awareness and
ability of the villagers, insufficient participation of market players, and weakness of grassroots social organizations. Effective
rural environmental governance can be achieved through equal cooperation, effective supplementation and mutual supervision.
Finally, suggestions are put forward from the perspective of the government, the grassroots social organizations and the villagers.
