Despite the environmental, human rights and dam safety issues that
convinced the Clinton Administration to abstain from the Three
Gorges Dam (TGD) project, the United States should reevaluate and
pursue a participatory policy in order to confront these troubling
issues from inside. Altering or retrofitting current dam
construction, incorporating new building techniques and
environmental safeguards and implementing resettlement approaches
documented by the World Commission of Dams are some of the methods
that could be explored cooperatively with the Chinese. Active U.S.
participation could increase the role of U.S. businesses in the dam
and the development of Chongqing that may become the "center of
gravity" for the China's western economic expansion. Only though
participatory diplomacy and economic influence can we lessen the
environmental and social impacts of building the world's largest
hydroelectric dam but also increase economic opportunities for U.S.
businesses.
