Exploring the obstruction and relief of land acquisition and relocation policy implementation based on the mutual adaptation model

Whether the implementation of public policy is effective or not depends to a large extent on the degree of adaptation of the policy subjects (policy implementers and those affected) to the goals or paths and their results. As a kind of public policy involving a large number of evicted households, the eviction policy should strive to realize the unity of public and individual interests, but in the current situation, there are still some obstacles in the implementation of this kind of policy by the policy implementers. Based on McLaughlin's Mutual Adaptation Model, this paper analyzes the practical considerations of mutual adaptation between policy subjects in the implementation of local demolition policy in Jiashan County, Zhejiang Province, taking the case of land expropriation and demolition as a case study, and summarizes the obstacles of unequal status between the two sides due to the asymmetric information between the two policy subjects, as well as proposes the introduction of a third party to make up for the shortcomings.
