Abstract
Abstract Transportation infrastructure in Guizhou, improved through the Western Development Project, has facilitated the development of “ecotourism” around Caohai Lake, offering opportunities for both state agencies and local communities to capitalize on new activities. Competition between the local state and lakeside communities over the profits from ecotourism has come to a head as the state has claimed jurisdiction over tourism on Caohai Lake. This struggle for control represents a fundamental clash between the Chinese state's project of modernization—a vision of top-down economic development—and local farmers' efforts to promote their own more participatory, community-based version of development.
