Researching Yellow River Management, 1949 ～ 1999
This paper will explore the changing context of Yellow River management during the People s Republic of China (1949～). More specifically, the paper will explore such themes as: centralization vs. decentralization (of water management), mass mobilization, labor-intensive vs. capital intensive investment priorities, and economic development vs. environmental protection, and self-reliance vs. international technical and financial cooperation. In general the paper represents a broad overview of the changing context of China s water management (or resource management) spanning the Mao and post-Mao period. The critical question is how has China s water management, as reflected by Yellow River conservancy programs, evolved over the past fifty years, and what have been the outcomes of these different approaches, and how the different development paradigms that these approaches have been embedded in have fundamentally altered the landscape (both human and environmental) of the Yellow River valley.
