Grassroots village organizations are crucial for understanding the interplay between the decentralization of state power and growing income inequality in periurban China. Based on a study of 380 shareholding cooperatives and 43 administrative villages in Guangdong, we examine how state policy has interacted with village institutions to determine the management and distribution of collective income among villagers. Our findings suggest that the decentralization of power over collective asset management and distribution to these grassroots organizations did not cause a retreat in the state’s capacity for strategic intervention and local regulatory controls. Rather, the state made continued attempts to regain power over village governance through institutional formalization. Such interventions enhanced the access of villagers to state welfare. However, they worsened income disparities among villagers by undermining the village redistributive mechanism based on informal rules.

And Control

The main objective of the study, the results of which is presented in the article, is an analysis of the content and essence of parliamentary control, which is a prerequisite for improving mechanisms for its implementation. The author has shown that the concept of parliamentarism means the presence of a division of state power to the legislative, executive and judicial, and therefore means independence and simultaneous interconnection of all branches of power. Such interconnectivity makes it possible to restrain branch branches due to mutual influence, pressure and control. The article determines that the state policy develops in a way that makes it possible to synchronously and in this case it is symmetrically involved in various branches of power to its formation, implementation and adjustment, depending on manifestations of legal reality, socio-economic reality and public-political processes in the state. The author revealed that, in democratic countries, the Parliament acts as a state policy that is responsible for state policy: taking on the legislative level of basic principles, the principles and mechanisms for implementing the state policy that rely on all the basis of all without exception social relations with the basis of public relations with the legislative level. its realization. Parliamentary control covers spheres much wider than a purely process of realization by the state executive authorities of their own powers. It is about the possibility of introducing separate forms of parliamentary control as an element of political legal personality, when the appointment of parliament officials that is part of its competence entails direct responsibility of such persons in the form of possible release due to the unsatisfactory results of the implementation of its powers or violations of legislation in the process of their the realization. In general, it can be noted that the unique combination of legislative and control functions in a representative body of state power increases the effectiveness of state regulation as a whole, since the adoption of the law means only the implementation of the establishment function by the state, and already its direct realization and enforcement of state power bodies - will provide the dynamics of the process of regulating public relationship. Instead, such an enforcement requires control not so much by the completion of the state authorities of its powers, but for the correctness of understanding the essence of the norms that are determined by the mechanisms of state regulation in the field of environmental activity.Key words: parliamentary control, execution of parliamentary control, lawmaking, state policy, central executive authorities.

The Village

Abstract Chinese villages have been historically regarded as autonomous areas without officials from the state. Since the founding of modern China in 1949, the two forces of state and villages that once co-existed and had no influence on each other have produced ever closer relations or even conflicts. The state power has accelerated the process of infiltration into villages in the last decade. Through the observation and research of sand mining in Beicun village, we find that the villagers do not simply resist or obey the state power, but gradually seek the balance between the traditional ritual order and the modern political system. Moreover, with the entry of state power into the village, power dissimilation, such as political favouritism and politicisation of local magnates, are affecting village governance. The key point of reconstructing modern rural political ecology lies in reserving sufficient room for the development of rural conventions under the national political system and in finding balance in the power interactions the state and villages.

First Time

Beginning in the early 1970s, Jewish and Muslim feminists, tackled “oral law”—Mishna and Talmud, in Judaism, and the parallel Hadith and Fiqh in Islam, and several analogous methodologies were devised. A parallel case study of maintenance and rebellion of wives —mezonoteha, moredet al ba?ala; nafaqa al-mar?a and nush?z—in classical Jewish and Islamic oral law demonstrates similarities in content and discourse. Differences between the two, however, were found in the application of oral law to daily life, as reflected in “responsa”—piskei halacha and fatwas. In modern times, as the state became more involved in regulating maintenance and disobedience, and Jewish law was backed for the first time in history by a state, state policy and implementation were influenced by the political system and socioeconomic circumstances of the country. Despite their similar origin in oral law, maintenance and rebellion have divergent relevance to modern Jews and Muslims.
