search. To better examine the behavioral logic behind grassroots governments’choices of public service provision
             models,this paper proposes an “ objective ! capability”analytical framework. Within a case context character
             ized by identical institutional arrangements and service content, the study systematically compares three provision
             models for meal services for elderly in City A. The research finds that the three models differ in the degree of a
             lignment between the objectives of the principal and the agent and in the requirements for capability configura
             tion. Grassroots government behavior is constrained by its space for autonomy, and tasks are integrated or priori
             tized according to the relative weight of these objectives. In multithreaded task governance scenarios, a govern
             ment’ s own capacity determines both its policy implementation enthusiasm and the likelihood of achieving its
             goals,while varying perceptions of service providers are also critical factors in the strategic choices made by
             grassroots governments. Moreover, when examined over a broader time span, the evolution of provision models is
             shown to change in tandem with shifts in governance mechanisms. By analyzing grassroots governments’autono
             my and their attitudes toward service providers within the framework of public service provision model selection,
             this study offers new theoretical insights that can enhance the quality and efficiency of public service provision
             and improve our understanding of the differences in government behavior in grassroots governance during the im
             plementation of identical policies.

             The Logic and Implementation Pathways of “ Party Led CoGovernance”in Urban Communities
                                                                                    LIANG Xian - Yan  113

             〔 Abstract〕Pluralistic cogovernance has become the mainstream paradigm in current community governance re
             search. However,the diverse behavioral logics of multiple actors—whereby the government operates on an effi
             ciencyoriented management logic,the market pursues a profitdriven commercial logic,and society follows a
             contractbased negotiation logic—pose significant challenges to the integration of these varied forces. The chal
             lenge of achieving cogovernance despite plurality is a common dilemma in urban community governance, mani
             festing in the dispersion of governing actors, the fragmentation of governance resources, the obstruction of institu
             tional integration,and the difficulties in collective action. In contrast,the valuebased integrative logic of the
             Party enables it to serve as the central nexus for coordinating diverse organizational efforts, linking mechanisms,

             and mobilizing personnel. This, in turn, facilitates the formation of a cogovernance structure characterized by a
             strong Party, capable government, effective market, and an organic society. Compared to the Western paradigm
             of pluralistic governance,“ Partyled cogovernance”is a governance solution that better fits the realities of urban
             communities in China,with the “ fivemicro integration”under hierarchical governance representing an effective
             form and potential pathway for its realization.
