Flood Control Policy in China: The Policy Consequences of Natural Disasters

Lester Ross

Journal of Public Policy, 1983, vol. 3, issue 2, 209-231

Abstract: This study of flood control policy before and after the Chinese floods of 1980–2 reveals the interactive effects of bureaucratic politics, the goals and careers of national leaders, and natural disasters in a communist regime. Policy is shown to be more reactive and influenced by longstanding bureaucratic rivalries than most previous research has found.
