In
recent years，in the process of resolving grassroots disputes，Yongkang city of Zhejiang province has broken through the previous
practice of using grassroots authority to mediate，and reporting
the case through administrative and judicial channels after mediation fails.
Instead，they first report the case to the police
through administrative and judicial channels，then
screen out the disputes that can be mediated by the grassroots through the
accurate analysis and judgment of the public security department, then
distribute and push to the grassroots political power for mediation by the grassroots
authority. With the gradual shrinking of the field of grassroots autonomy，grassroots authority no longer plays an independent role in
mediating grassroots disputes，and a new community of grassroots
governance gradually formed. The grassroots governance logic behind the
mediation phenomenon in Yongkang city is neither an extension of the
traditional governance logic nor a break of the traditional governance logic，but a new “tradition” of grassroots governance formed under the
leadership of the Communist
Party of China.
