nese path to modernization. Comprehensively deepening reform in the new era is to understand the core logo and
distinctive features of contemporary China, which has laid a solid foundation, provided a strong driving force and
created favorable conditions for promoting Chinese path to modernization in the new era. Around the comprehen
sive deepening of reform in the new era,the academic community has mainly conducted research from the di
mensions of value significance, theoretical characteristics, and practical exploration, and has achieved rich theo
retical innovation results,providing useful references for a profound understanding and grasp of this proposition.
However,many studies lack a historical perspective and critical thinking, and lack a comprehensive review and
reflection on the history of deepening reforms in the new era over the past decade from a holistic perspective. Un
der the theoretical analysis framework of value rationality and instrumental rationality, the comprehensive deepe
ning of reform in the new era is a conceptual category with comparative significance. It not only surpasses the re
form dominated by single instrumental rationality in Western capitalist countries in horizontal international com
parison, but also surpasses the reform of the lack or separation of value rationality and instrumental rationality in
Chinese history in vertical historical comparison. It reflects the dual demands and logical directions of value ra
tionality and instrumental rationality from historical separation to realistic unity,which runs through the aspects
of reform leadership theory,subjectivity theory,guarantee theory,emphasis theory,and methodology,and be
comes the key to understanding and grasping the historical transcendence of comprehensive deepening reform in
the new era.

Between the Individual and the Public:A Comparative Historical Analysis of Delegated Govern
ance Types ZHOU Qing - Zhi 81
〔 Abstract〕Delegated governance is a form of social organization and management that connects individuals with
the public sphere, serving collaborative, accountability, and representative functions. The authority in delegated
governance originates from the state,representing a Weberian mode of state domination,through which a rela
tionship of state power domination between individuals and the public is maintained. Delegated governance types
have evolved differently across historical stages and have been implemented at various levels of generality. A
comparative historical analysis of traditional and modern types of delegated governance aims to reveal the general
characteristics and historical significance of this social organizational and management model. It involves exami
ning its underlying premises,fundamental principles, and structural conditions, and particularly highlighting its
politicalsocial characteristics,concepts of order,institutional mechanisms,and internal contradictions and ten
sions. Such analysis provides deeper insights into the general features,institutional characteristics,and logical
causalities of the current grassroots governance system.
