The Politics of Water: an Institutional History of Yellow River Governance in the Qing Dynasty
by Jia Guojing
About This Novel
Based on the perspective of institutional history, this book makes a systematic and in-depth discussion of the life course, organizational system and internal logic of the Yellow River management system in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the personnel rights relationships contained therein. It not only focuses on presenting its overview, but also pays attention to exploring the dynamic mechanism of system evolution, analyzing the value and significance of its existence, and striving to reveal the close relationship between Yellow River management and national politics. This book believes that compared with ordinary systems, this system is more sensitive to the general political situation. The main reason is that the political mission of Yellow River management in the Qing Dynasty was further strengthened. It not only embodies the ruler's grand strategic conception, but also conceals the political and cultural traditions of that period. As a result, the Yellow River in the Qing Dynasty became a "political river" to a large extent.
