The Legal Positioning of Rural Collective Economic Organizations: History and Value Abstract： Keywords：

Abstract

The establishment of long-term agricultural development and rural governance methods in China gave rise to a new kind of agricultural production organization with Chinese characteristics: the rural collective economic organization. The state’ s will and the large number of farmers’ production methods have guided the rural col- lective economic organization through many major organizational revolutions, significantly altering China’ s traditional rural society. In addition to the home contract responsibility structure, there have been significant modifications in the meaning and scope of the rural collective economic organization. The current legal the - oretical framework finds it difficult to account for the practical elements of rural collective economic organi - zation, as these qualities are inherently contradictory. This article aims to clarify the legal connotation of the rural collective economic organization and establish its scientifically accurate legal positioning by sorting out the defining principles of the organization, its practical functions, and the theoretical categorization of its spe - cial legal status.
