China's Environmental Modernization Challenges: An Examination Based on the Lesser Plateau Watershed Restoration Project
Abstract
This thesis also focuses on "connecting the LPP to the World Bank's "participatory approach" to development." Project managers have emphasized the importance of this strategy as a means of achieving success. Several reports have praised this aspect of the proposal, claiming that it will help farmers become more invested in and eventually control the venture (S. Chen, Wang, and Wang 2004; Liu 2011; Liu and Hiller 2015). Concerns about China's autocratic, top-down government system may make some people wary of the concept of "participation" in a country-sponsored initiative. According to one study, "the LPP's 'participatory method' has flaws (Dalton and Cai 2007:35-36)." Specifically, "Development of communities through participation and the strengthening of institutions, both of which will under fire, will be targeted for criticism (Hiller 2012: 72). However, neither the project's success in terms of 'participation' nor the LPP's struggle with 'participation' will be thoroughly investigated. There are indications that the western-led initiative's claims of engagement did not match what was happening on the ground in China. As I dig deeper into this topic in my thesis, I hope to shed light on the realities of engagement in a Chinese local environment. Recognizing the complexity and dynamics of the concept of 'participation,' this study will not provide a definitive definition or claim about LPP 'participation,' but will instead keep an open mind to questions of problems and limitations to see if the concept be implemented in China "due to the stringent regulations imposed by the state government.
