Abstract
ABSTRACT In the multi-nation society of China, disputes related to the beliefs and customs of indigenous communities in the process of the state’s natural resources management have been increasing because of sports activities, tourism, extractive industries, hydropower and other infrastructure constructions. From a legal pluralism perspective, with a focus on the Tibetan mountain cult in the Kawagebo (Mt. Meili) mountain area, this research argues the existence of two types of governances based on different worldview, beliefs, normative frameworks and management practices: the community spiritual governance (CSG) and the state resources governance (SRG). By analysing the institutional constraints to, and the potentials of recognising the spiritual significance of, sacred mountains and rights of indigenous communities, this research justifies a pathway of turning SRG towards a ‘rights-based governance’ for coordinating these conflicts.
