| Summary |
This book conceptualises the ongoing hydropower expansion in Southwest China as a socio-political and transnational project transcending the construction of dams. Chapters in this volume are organised around three sections spanning hydropower and resettlement governance, rural livelihoods, and international relations connected to Chinas hydropower expansion. Dam projects of various scales are analysed as infrastructure projects that shape peoples livelihoods, the environment, and Chinas relations with Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Jean-Francois Rousseau is Assistant Professor at the School of International Development and Global Studies at the University of Ottawa. His research focuses on nature-society relations and addresses the relationships between agrarian change, infrastructure development, and ethnic minority livelihood diversification in Southwest China. Sabrina Habich-Sobiegalla is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Chinese Studies at Freie Universitat Berlin. Her research interests include regional development, central-local relations, and energy and resource governance with a focus on China. She is the author of the book, Dams, Migration and Authoritarianism in China: The Local State in Yunnan, published by Routledge |
