Abstract
China's rapid industrial development and growing environmental problems call attention to how China approaches the management of risk. Traditional approaches to flood control, as well as contemporary approaches to technological hazards, suggests that risk management in China has been biased by historical and cultural forces tending towards highly centralized schemes. Unfortunately, these can be defeated by natural and social phenomena beyond the reach of the state's authority, often with a loss of confidence in the government. Contemporary China can be thought of as in a “risk transition” with regard to the hazards it faces, and the institutional strategies devised to deal with them.
