Land tenure and irrigation in North Vietnam's mountainous regions: Rights outside the law?

Résumé

This paper addresses the challenge of categorizing forms of social regulation observed within the irrigation system of villages in the mountainous zones of north-west Vietnam. Rather than considering these forms of local and non-state social regulation as relating to “customary rights” or, on the contrary, as being systematically outside of the judicial system, the approach we propose consists in identifying their characteristics empirically. The first section explores the diversity of forms of irrigation regulation, while the second one presents the dynamics of land tenure rights in order to show how they shape local irrigation rules. The third section propose a theoretical frame to integrate these empirical observations and discuss the definition and classification of these forms of social regulation. In conclusion, this paper introduce the concept of “interpersonal and local regulatory regimes” as a specific form of social regulation with particular characteristics and functions.
