The Chinese State and the Political History of the Yellow River A Comparison of Two Episodes

چکیده
This paper presents some preliminary work from my book project, China’s Sorrow or the Yellow River’s Sorrow? An Environmental History of the Yellow River. This project examines millennia-long contests between the flooding waters of the Yellow River and Chinese states’ intentions, efforts, and often failures to curb the floods. It will be a book about exchanges of power (power from various sources, like the power of humans and the power of nature), and the long-term environmental consequences such exchanges have triggered.
