Abstract:The sustainable development of governance practices, such as deliberative democracy, not only requires perfect institutional norms and standardized operation procedures as guarantee, but also needs the external drive of deliberative practice performance. How is the political legal function of deliberative democracy practice in our country? Based on the data of the questionnaire survey of grassroots officials in 16 provinces and 36 cities, this paper studies the practice of deliberative democracy of grassroots officials and its influence mechanism on public satisfaction with the government. The study shows that deliberative democracy at grassroots level has following problems: grassroots officials are not consistent in their perception and practice of deliberative democracy; deliberative democracy is not regularly practiced, and it is significantly less actively practiced than passively practiced; deliberative democracy is practiced in limited areas; The public does not have a high opinion of the practice of deliberative democracy. Apart from these problems, the study also have following findings: importance attached to deliberative democracy practice significantly improves the public satisfaction with the government; participation in decision-making hearings and online deliberation improve the public satisfaction with the government, while government hotlines, officials’ regular reception of public visits, participation in evaluation, and letters and visits of complaints over the work of the government have no significant impact, and face-to-face communication with grassroots officials reduces satisfaction with the government; the more fields where deliberative democracy is practiced, the higher satisfaction people have with the government; in particular, deliberation in the negotiation of land expropriation and relocation, public budget, people’s livelihood and welfare and investment attraction significantly increases people’s satisfaction with the government. People’s satisfaction with the practice of deliberative democracy not only directly enhances people’s satisfaction with the government, but also an important intermediary to influence the satisfaction with the government by the importance of deliberation practice, approaches for deliberation practice (decision-making hearing), and the participation of deliberation practice.
