Abstract:

Policy implementation is an important indicator of policy effectiveness. In rural areas，policy implementation is a mirror of grassroots governance. The article conducted an empirical investigation on the implementation process of land acquisition policy in S town H village of A city in northern Guangdong. The research shows that in the process of land expropriation policies，village cadres have demonstrated obvious “asylum-executive” behavioral logic on the identification of peasants’ “three-robbing” illegal acts， the enumeration of land attachments and the exercise of supervision power. The township government intends to complete and must complete the land acquisition policy under the result-oriented and multiple incentives. However， due to the shortage of manpower and information asymmetry， the land acquisition policy can only be transferred to the village cadres for execution through reverse dependence. It left room for action for the asylum behavior of village cadres. For the consideration of obtaining high economic compensation， the land-expropriated villagers seek refuge for the village cadres by means of exchange of reciprocal means through the network of acquaintances. The village cadres with ambiguous identities adopt “asylum” implementation strategy to seek benefits beyond the limits of the law for the villagers， which ultimately led to deviations in land acquisition policy. In order to effectively correct the “asylum” behavior of village cadres， it is necessary to fundamentally block the possibility of “asylum execution” of village cadres，thus effectively preventing the occurrence of deviations in policy implementation.

Key words: asylum execution, land acquisition policy, action space
