AbstractAs a result of the shift of the nation s developmental strategythe restriction of ideology and the deficiency of the governing system of pressure petitionbenefit-seeking petition in rural areas is growing remarkably and extensively. To top it offa group of professional petitioners is emergingposing a threat to the grassroots system of petition governance. An industry of petition is taking shape. The grassroots petition governance system is now overwhelmed not only by those tough and uncompromising petitionersbut also by benefit-seeking petitioners and professional petitioners. The real solution to the issue of petition this author maintains lies in the adjustment of the strategy of ensuring social stability in handling petition and restore legitimacy to the use of absolute arbitrary powerthereby allowing the state power to operate on a normal governing course. The construction of the concept of benefit-seeking petition allows us not only to apprehend the changing logic behind the petition acts of the farmersbut also to deepen our understanding of the petition system and to evaluate the efficiency of China s state power construction and state governance transformation.
