Abstract:The penetration of the state power into the grassroots society and control of it is the most stable and distinct constant in the governance of grassroots society. In order to realize the effective governance of the grassroots society, the state usually adopts multiple approaches such as idea penetration, organization penetration, procedure penetration and service penetration to continuously extend its influence to the grassroots, presenting the logic of “administrative absorption of society”on the whole. The idea penetration aims to set the“hierarchy map”of the neighborhood in the cognition of people and organizations through the new construction of “cognitive context”. Organization penetration aims to establish and expand the leadership and influence of the state in grassroots communities. Procedure penetration focuses on the integration of technical strategies with state intentions. Service penetration emphasizes the re-construction of state power in the process of service transmission. The state penetration results in the administration of neighborhood communities and one-dimensional governance of grassroots society.
