Review China's Community Participation from Refreshed Ladder Theory, the Circle Structure of Community Governance and the Participation and Democratic Theory

There are many democratic participation activities in the grassroots society in China, and there are also many people studying this field. Although China is a socialist country with a one-party dictatorship, thanks to the long democratic history of the Communist Party of China and China's long-standing grassroots autonomy, there are also many grassroots democracy and participation activities. By studying the theoretical characteristics of grassroots governance and sorting out some existing problems, this article adopts the improved ladder theory, democracy & participation theory and political circle theory to analyse the democratic political activities at the grassroots level. This paper analyses and compares the characteristics and commonalities of the three methods, and tries to combine methods that can be used to analyse the grassroots democratic political participation of some Chinese communities.
