Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this study is to examine the validity of Karl A. Wittfogel’s Water Control and Distribution theory, and ravel the governance structure in modern China, from the case studies of water rights dilemmas. In North China, the water rights at several watersheds are under control of civil societies. This kind of societies have the civil supports; meanwhile they are also involved in the state power. The societies seek the intervention of the state to settle issues in the case of that the issues could not be judged by the societies. In general, the state makes the judgment by referring the local practices. As a result, the water rights is preserved by both state power and local practices.
