Abstract: With the changes in the grassroots governance situations， the traditional brokerage mechanism has been unlikely to adapt to China's actual needs to build a grassroots social governance pattern of joint construction， joint governance and sharing. To this end， China has begun to attempt to build leadership brokerage based on grassroots party organizations and guided by party building to achieve the re-establishment of governance authority and improvement of governance efficiency. Different from the management and control orientation of traditional brokerage mechanisms based on the logic of power dominance， leadership brokerage is distinctive with leadership and co-governance orientation. It achieves effective connection between the state and society through the organizational network of the ruling party， and uses forum construction， project operation and social connection to achieve consensus shaping， resources integration and joint action， thereby promoting effective cooperation between the state and society. From the perspective of understanding the governance of China， leadership brokerage maps the relationship between the state， political parties and society， which is very different from the political situations in Western countries. It is of great significance for the localization of the theory of state-society relations and the construction of the basic theory of political parties with Chinese characteristics.

Key words: leadership brokerage; brokerage mechanism; grassroots governance; party building guidance
