The Triple Logic of the Standardized Power Operation for Grassroots Cadres

Establishing a correct view of power serves as the fundamental guideline for grassroots cadres in the new era to exercise power in a standardized manner and fulfill their duties. However, the current issues of improper exercise of power and distorted views of power among a small number of grassroots cadres have become significant bottlenecks restricting the modernization of grassroots governance. Existing studies mostly focus on the macroscopic interpretation of the view of power, analysis of practical problems and proposal of countermeasures, lacking an overall logical construction from the whole chain of power operation. On this basis, taking the Marxist view of power as the theoretical foundation and adopting the methods of literature research and theoretical analysis, this paper constructs a triple logical analytical framework of power identification—power internalization—power externalization, and systematically explains the internal mechanism and practical path for grassroots cadres to exercise power in a standardized way. The research indicates that power identification is the logical premise, with the core of consolidating the fundamental cognition that power is endowed by the people and exercised for the people; power internalization acts as the core intermediary, focusing on forming the behavioral consciousness of exercising power impartially, in accordance with the law, for public interests and with integrity; power externalization is the practical destination, emphasizing the release of governance efficiency through the operation of grassroots power. Only by realizing the in-depth integration of the three can we fundamentally standardize the operation of grassroots power, continuously improve the efficiency of grassroots governance, and provide solid support for the modernization of grassroots governance.
