Grass-roots democracy is an important part of our socialist democracy. The people, the ruling party(CPC), society and institutions have become the most important variables affecting grass-roots democracy. The exertion of its subjectivity and its institutional relationship constitute the structural driving force for the development of grass-roots democracy. Grass-roots democracy is closely related to Marxist democratic subjectivity and humanism, and people’s character is the basic value to follow and the fundamental force to promote grass-roots democracy;the party’s promotion of grass-roots democratic development is contained in the historical process of nation-state building, and the party’s promotion has certain historical, theoretical and practical stipulations. The endogeneity of democracy at the grass-roots level shows the strong social impetus for its development. The institutionalized strategy of China’s democratic political devel-opment constitutes the institutional motive force for the development of grass-roots democracy in China. People, political party(the ruling party), society and institutions constitute the compound driving force for the development of grassroots democracy in the new era.
