The practical experience of identification of the membership of collective economic organizations in rural areas is complex and diversified, and it is necessary to take the tendency and the system of multiple factors into full account to set the clauses of membership recognition during the process of formulation of the Law of Rural Organization of Collective Economy. The former decision-making way of the theory of causation leads to simplification of affairs, which can hardly adapt to the complexity of the social environment. The normative structure of the Dynamic System Theory has the characteristics of flexibility and softness, which can be used to properly solve the problem of the tension existing between law and practice of formulation of collective membership recognition. In combination with the experience of membership recognition of the collective economic organization in the studied region, it is concluded that it is necessary to clarify the system behind the membership and list crucial factors that influence membership recognition. On this basis, acquisition, reservation and cancellation of the membership and special population shall be taken into account.
