This paper analyzes the positive impact of political trust on grassroots social stability, elaborating on its effects from three dimensions: reducing conflicts and friction, facilitating the smooth implementation of policies, and enhancing governance resilience. Building on this, the paper proposes five specific pathways&amp;mdash;regulating the exercise of administrative power, improving the quality of public services, broadening channels for public expression, strengthening the management of the cadre corps, and improving the rule of law at the grassroots level&amp;mdash;to enhance political trust in grassroots society, with the aim of providing a theoretical reference for grassroots governance practices.</abstract><keywords>Political trust,Grassroots society,Enhancement pathways</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1] Yue L, He PT, 2023, The Mechanism and Pathways for Enhancing Public Political Trust Through Social Security: An Analysis Based on a Survey of Residents in Henan Province.
