Features: This book studies the art of water management from an economic perspective. Building upon the "Economic Explanation" by Zhang Wuchang, the "New Economic History" by North, and the "Grand Historical View" by Huang Renyu, it employs the traditional theoretical framework of new institutional economics along with the latest advancements in environmental and resource economics, transaction cost economics, property rights economics, and corporate theory. It reinterprets and develops the "Water Management School" theory, constructs the "Water Rights Bureaucratic Concept" model, and advances the economic theory of water rights structures. It addresses the urgent issues facing China's water rights reform and offers significant reference value for contemporary Chinese water management policy practices. Moving from water management to governance, the book also explains the intrinsic nature of China's bureaucratic state governance structure. It is not only a specialized study on water rights but also an excellent read for understanding the logic of China's national governance and the differences between Chinese and Western civilizations.
