Sustainable dam development in China between global norms and local practices
Sustainable dam development in China between global norms and local practices
The paper explores reforms of China’s environmental and resettlement policies and the influence of domestic and external actors on Chinese dam-related legislation. It also analyses the impact of these reforms on the Nu River Project and the Xiaolangdi Multipurpose Dam Project. The analysis starts with an overview of the strategic role of hydropower in the economic development plans of central and local government. The paper then analyses decision-making processes in the Chinese dam bureaucracy and the role allotted to civil society. By singling out the environmental impact assessment and resettlement the paper examines legal changes and the reasons for them.
