China's Water Warriors pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Today opponents of large-scale dam projects in China, rather than being greeted with indifference or repression, are part of the hydropower policymaking process itself. What accounts for this dramatic change in this critical policy area surrounding China's insatiable quest for energy? In China's Water Warriors, Andrew C. Mertha argues that as China has become increasingly market driven, decentralized, and politically heterogeneous, the control and management of water has transformed from an unquestioned economic imperative to a lightning rod of bureaucratic infighting, societal opposition, and open protest.
Although bargaining has always been present in Chinese politics, more recently the media, nongovernmental organizations, and other activists—actors hitherto denied a seat at the table—have emerged as serious players in the policy-making process. Drawing from extensive field research in some of the most remote parts of Southwest China, China's Water Warriors contains rich narratives of the widespread opposition to dams in Pubugou and Dujiangyan in Sichuan province and the Nu River Project in Yunnan province.
Mertha concludes that the impact and occasional success of such grassroots movements and policy activism signal a marked change in China's domestic politics. He questions democratization as the only, or even the most illuminating, indicator of political liberalization in China, instead offering an informed and hopeful picture of a growing pluralization of the Chinese policy process as exemplified by hydropower politics.
For the 2010 paperback edition, Mertha tests his conclusions against events in China since 2008, including the Olympics, the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, and the Uighar and Tibetan protests of 2008 and 2009.
Andrew Mertha is professor of government, specializing in Chinese and Cambodian politics, particularly on political institutions, the policy process, and the exercise of power.
He is a core faculty member in the Cornell East Asia Program and the Cornell Southeast Asia Program. He is also the Director of the China and Asia Pacific Studies Program.
Mertha’s Ph.D. (2001) is from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Mertha has written three books, The Politics of Piracy: Intellectual Property in Contemporary China (Cornell University Press, 2005), China’s Water Warriors: Citizen Action and Policy Change (Cornell University Press, 2008), and Brothers in Arms: Chinese Aid to the Khmer Rouge, 1975-1979 (Cornell University Press, 2014).
conclusion提的liberalization through pluralization挺有意思,不过作为一个脑残民主拥戴者觉着这样不彻底。。
评分又出现了……决定加一颗星。自己写过case之后就觉得Mertha写的也没那么烂。
评分本书作为理解商业媒体时代的中国官僚体制有很大帮助。如果没时间看书可以看作者2008年在China Quarterly的文章,该文我会用来教本科生、研究生、博士生。

评分初看的时候非常喜欢这本书。现在回头想想,不给5星的原因,主要在于作者虽然提出了很好的分析框架,但是论证过程归根到底还是每种类型举一个例子。从这个意义上说,研究设计并不比平顶山煤矿学院学报上的许多文章高多少。但是,与平顶山煤碳学院学报上的文章不同,作者提出的分析框架很有见地,并且值得用更严谨的方法来继续检视,故而这依然是一本很好的书。如果有4又3/4星这个选项就好了。
