The Formation and Reconstruction of Jiti: Political Logic Analysis of Collective Ownership of Rural Land

In the classical Marxist theory, ownership is not a specific property right arrangement. The direct determination of public ownership as collective ownership is the product of a specific historical stage and cognitive space. At present, the practice of demarcating the collective scope by rural residents’ residences in the initial construction of rural collective organizations has not adapted to the development requirements of the new era, and the re-invention of rural Jiti (" 集体”, collective) is an inevitable trend. The core of deepening reform is to realize the modern transformation of " Jiti” and its membership rights, and gradually give the collective members the right to withdraw, reorganize and rejoin. The land system reform centered on the " three rights division” provides an important window for solving the problem of collective membership rights. The release of the larger reform dividend depends on the formulation of specific operational plans for different types of villages.
