农民政治参与对于乡村治理和基层民主意义重大,但在农民高参与率的背后伴随的却是农民的政治冷漠。农民们虽然也进行了投票选举,但大多并没有权利自觉,多为被动参与,而且对于宗族和贿选现象也都持默认态度,参与质量并不高。这主要原因在于传统思想影响深远,经济发展水平较低,参与成本高于收益,利益表达渠道不畅,农民整体素质偏低等因素有关。因此,化解农民的政治冷漠心理,必须大力发展农村经济,完善基层制度建设,培育参与型公民文化,提高农民自身素质,从而提升农民政治参与的质量和能力水平。 Farmers’ political participation is of great significance to rural governance and grassroots democracy. However, behind the high participation rate of peasants, they are accompanied by the political indifference of peasants. Although peasants also conducted the voting, most of them did not have the right to be conscious and often took the initiative to participate. They also adopted a default attitude toward the phenomenon of clan and bribery, and their quality of participation was not high. This is mainly due to the far-reaching influence of traditional thinking, the low level of economic development, the high cost of participating in the project, the poor channels for expressing interests, and the low overall quality of farmers. Therefore, to resolve the apathy of the peasants, we must vigorously develop the rural economy, improve the construction of the grass-roots system, cultivate a participatory citizenship culture and improve the quality of peasants themselves, so as to enhance the quality and ability of peasants’ political participation.
