A Study on Model Innovation of Urban Grassroots Governance Based on Polycentric Cooperative Governance-A Case Study of the 365 Community Governance Model in Xigang District of Dalian, China

Urban grassroots governance is the basis of state governance, the model transformation of which concerns the realization of state governance system and the modernization of governance ability. In the process of stepping into the post-industrial society, scholars at home and abroad generally emphasize the role of multiple subjects in community governance and advocate the community participation, collaboration and cooperation governance. Therefore, based on the theory of polycentric-cooperative governance, urban grassroots polycentric cooperative governance model framework can be constructed, which can highlight the role of multiple subjects in community and promote the adoption of a mutually-beneficial and win-win action strategy. By learning and growing together, cooperative governance can be realized and improved continuously. The practice of the 365 community governance model in Xigang District of Dalian has proved that the polycentric cooperative governance model can improve the community governance ability and service level. This model can fully mobilize multiple subjects such as social organizations, enterprises and residents to pdrticipate in community affairs with the government as its booster. Hence, the problems like perfecting the top-level design, maintaining a long-term and dynamic mechanism as well as strengthening the ability of social organization and public participation need to be solved. And more efforts should be made to push forward the separation of politics and society, to cultivate the civism and community organizations and to inspire social energy, in order to forcefully promote the model innovation of Chinese urban grassroots governance.
