Beyond Farms Vs. Fish
In 2023-2024, four hydropower dams were removed from the Klamath River in southern Oregon and northern California in what is now the largest salmon recovery and river restoration project in US history. In this paper, we present results from anthropological research, including a formal free-listing exercise and semi-structured interviews, to examine the post-dam water management priorities of two groups involved in the Klamath Basin’s most intract…
Challenges and opportunities for the governance of hydropower
Internationalizing Chinese standards through infrastructure experimentation
This ethnographic study examines the implementation of Chinese engineering standards in a multinational pumped storage hydropower project in Israel. Using an ethnographic approach, the study investigates how Chinese standards are negotiated, accepted or rejected within local engineering practice and how Chinese engineers experience the international adoption of their knowledge. We find that although the adoption of Chinese practice-based standard…
Epistemic Turbulence in Renewable Energy Engineering on the Chinese “Belt and Road”
Energy issues constitute a nexus of technological, political and economic challenges, particularly in light of the global climate crisis. Chinese banks and corporations, guided by a multi-trillion dollar infrastructure investment program called the “Belt and Road Initiative,” now account for one-third of global investment in renewable energy. In this ethnographic study, we explore the professional knowledge and practices of Chinese, Israeli and E…
Nuosu Horticulturalists' Local Knowledge of Wild Edible Plants and Fungi and Socio-Economic Implications in Yunnan, Southwest China
The collection and consumption of wild edible plants (WEPs) and fungi is an important part of the foodways of many populations worldwide. Knowledge of WEPs and fungi is considered a significant component of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), and is greatly impacted by social, economic, political, and cultural contexts and changes. T his study showcases a naturalistic comparison between more traditional villages and villages that were part of…
Fertility trends, sex ratios, and son preference among Han and minority households in rural China
This paper presents new insights into contemporary Chinese demography and family life based on survey and interview data from rural households in Yunnan Province, China’s most ethnically and linguistically diverse region. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, we examine fertility trends, sex ratios, and son preferences in our study sample. We analyze differences between the majority Han and various ethnic minority groups that have been su…

The Integrative Dam Assessment Model
In 2000, the World Commission on Dams (WCD), an organization under the guidance of the World Bank and the World Conservation Union, called for more equitable, interdisciplinary, and sustainable decision making with respect to large dams. The WCD advanced seven Strategic Priorities toward this goal, one of which was the need for a "comprehensive options assessment" of different hydrodevelopment scenarios. In response, an interdisciplinary group of…
Biophysical, Socioeconomic, and Geopolitical Vulnerabilities to Hydropower Development on the Nu River, China
Tullos, D. D., E. Foster-Moore, D. Magee, B. Tilt, A. T. Wolf, E. Schmitt, F. Gassert, and K. Kibler. 2013. Biophysical, socioeconomic, and geopolitical vulnerabilities to hydropower development on the Nu River, China. Ecology and Society 18(3): 16. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05465-180316
The politics of industrial pollution in rural China
After more than three decades of extremely rapid industrial growth, China faces an environmental crisis. The rural industrial sector, which includes millions of loosely regulated factories and employs hundreds of millions of workers, is a major focal point of this crisis. This paper provides a critical review of scholarship on industrial pollution in rural China and advances a new framework for thinking about the topic as a political domain with …
Dam-Induced Displacement and Agricultural Livelihoods in China's Mekong Basin
Local Perceptions of "Quality of Life" in Rural China
One of the main challenges faced by anthropologists and practitioners who work in international development is the identification of locally appropriate objectives and outcomes for development projects. In recent years, improving the quality of life of target populations has emerged as a key objective of many development agencies, but there is little consensus about how best to define and operationalize this concept. This paper applies anthropolo…
Media coverage of environmental pollution in the People’s Republic of China
On 13 November 2005, an explosion rocked the Jilin Petrochemical Company, a subsidiary of the state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), spilling nearly 100 tons of benzene into the Songhua River. Six people were killed in the blast, and thousands of residents were forced to evacuate their homes. The explosion also resulted in an 80-kilometer slick of toxic benzene in the Songhua, which supplies the municipal water system of Harbin,…
A Comparative Study of Community-based Sea Turtle Management in Palau
This article investigates social, political and cultural aspects of sea turtle management led by the Tobian community at Helen Reef in the Republic of Palau. We use participant observation, unstructured interviews and examination of community -based natural resource management literature to compare and contrast the Tobian community with several other communities in Palau in order to identify some of the underlying factors that we believe contri…
Smallholders and the 'Household Responsibility System
Perceptions of Risk from Industrial Pollution in China
As economic reforms have transformed the People’s Republic of China over the past several decades, rapid industrialization has resulted in air and water pollution problems that threaten the health of China’s citizens and damage the environment. Small-scale rural factories called “township and village enterprises” play a major role in China’s growing pollution problem. However, very little is known about how rural Chinese citizens perceive industr…
Fish Scales
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA) and other legal mandates, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is conducting basic social science research on fishing communities. This basic research differs from issue-driven social impact assessments in that it does not address pending policy changes or specified locations. As a consequence, NMFS’s basic social science research must cover very large geograph…
