Since the Constitution of the People''s Republic of China (PRC) in 1982, the brigades in the PRC''s peoples'' commune are replaced by the base-level mass self-governing organization of the Village Residents'' Committees. This thesis attempts to look into the historical background of the organization in order to examine its structure, function, and processes. Although some paradigms show the democratize phenomenon, most of the Village Residents'' Committees are still part of the authoritative government, and its future might be limited.
