Abstract

For the past two decades, work across a range of fields, but particularly geography, has engaged ‘critical hydropolitics’ as a way to highlight not only the politics inherent in decisions about water, but also the foundational assumptions of more conventional hydropolitical analyses that tend to focus on conflicts and cooperation over water resources, with a heavy emphasis on ‘the state’ as the key actor and scale of analysis. In this article we review critical hydropolitical literature that focuses on transboundary rivers that descend from the eastern Tibetan Plateau, namely the Lancang-Mekong, Yarlung Tsangpo-Brahmaputra and Nu-Salween river basins. We highlight five key and interrelated themes that have emerged in the literature to date - the state, scale, infrastructure, knowledge and logics, and climate change - and discuss how these provide useful tools for more fine-grained analyses of power, control and contestation.

超越亚洲跨界河流的国家政治:回顾二十年的关键水文政治
在过去的二十年里,跨越一系列领域的工作,特别是地理学,已经将“关键的水政治”作为一种方式,不仅突出了关于水的决策中固有的政治,而且还强调了更传统的水政治分析的基本假设,这些分析往往侧重于水资源的冲突与合作,强调“国家”作为关键行动者和分析的规模。在本文中,我们回顾了重要的水文政治文献,重点关注青藏高原东部的跨境河流,即澜沧江-湄公河、雅鲁藏布江-雅鲁藏布江和怒江-萨尔温江流域。我们强调了迄今为止在文献中出现的五个关键且相互关联的主题——国家、规模、基础设施、知识和逻辑以及气候变化——并讨论了这些主题如何为更细致的权力、控制和竞争分析提供有用的工具。
