The Three Gorges dam, currently being constructed on the Yantgze
River in China, is controversial both inside and outside China,
particularly because of the large number of people to be resettled
(officially 1.2 million) and the environmental impacts. Using
material previously unavailable in any Western language, it
analyses the Chinese discussions over policy-making for the
resettlement process and impacts. It concludes that the environment
and resettlement policies have been linked in a new way in this
project. However, despite these positive developments, it argues
that the social impacts from resettlement have not yet reached a
high level of political attention and that the Chinese authorities
need to acknowledge that resettlement has social costs. The book
provides an understanding of the social, political and economic
factors of one of the largest and most controversial development
projects currently being implemented. It also sheds light on
China's policy-making procedures and political priorities over the
past decade.
