Tracing Tradition and Mapping Out Change: Water Allocation, Conflict Management and the Law in Hawaii, 1857-1906AbstractThis two-year project involves analyzing a series of water law cases during the final years of the Kingdom of Hawai`i and the first years of US territorial reign. This study will examine how the Commissions of Private Ways and Water Rights, established by the Hawaiian monarchy, invoked traditional Hawaiian as well as Western EuroAmerican assumptions and technological practices about water in their decision-making processes. Additionally, several cases were appealed to the Supreme Court, leaving records of those decision-making processes that we will analyze as well. We will also investigate how the particular practices invoked and decisions made by the Commission and Supreme Court shaped the nature of water practices throughout the Hawaiian Islands. We will approach this through: 1) an evaluation of legal processes, 2) an analysis of the agency of individuals, 3) tracking alternate uses of water infrastructure and technology, and 4) an interpretation of institutional frameworks. A legal pluralism approach is adopted to address how the law both reflects and prompts change over time in the systems of practice, knowledge, and management attached to water. Water continues to be a pressing issue for Hawaiians as well as for people around the world. International pressures to privatize water are, in some respects, an extension of the drive to privatization begun in the nineteenth century and earlier. Understanding the dynamics of decision-making in Hawai`i during the late nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century is significant because these processes not only shaped the character of contemporary water conflicts, but established a foundation for water conflict resolution for the remainder of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. Understanding the specific political, legal, scientific, and technological context within which water decisions were made during this period could be of value in current and future decision-making processes by state agencies and the judiciary, which today draw heavily upon historic precedents. This analysis of Hawaiian water law during a period of intense transformation at the end of the nineteenth century sheds light on the ways that law and legal systems simultaneously reflect and shape the society within which they operate. Furthermore the project will provide a focus on the complex dynamics which arose as indigenous societies responded to, adapted and challenged western colonizing efforts. Understanding the context that created Hawai`is particular system offers insight into law as a dynamic and contested system with significant implications for the distribution of power and wealth in Hawai`i and the Pacific Rim.

追踪传统和映射出变化：水分配，冲突管理和法律在夏威夷，1857- 1906年摘要这个为期两年的项目涉及到分析一系列的水资源法的情况下，在夏威夷王国的最后几年和美国领土统治的第一年。本研究将探讨如何委员会的私人途径和水权，由夏威夷君主制建立，调用传统的夏威夷以及西方欧美的假设和技术实践，在他们的决策过程中的水。此外，有几个案件被上诉到最高法院，留下了我们也将分析的决策过程的记录。我们还将调查委员会和最高法院援引的特定做法和决定如何塑造整个夏威夷群岛的水做法的性质。我们将通过以下方式实现这一目标：1）对法律的程序的评估，2）对个人代理的分析，3）跟踪水基础设施和技术的替代用途，以及4）对体制框架的解释。一个法律的多元化的方法是通过解决法律如何反映和提示随着时间的推移，在实践，知识和管理系统的变化，重视水。对于夏威夷人以及世界各地的人们来说，水仍然是一个紧迫的问题。 在某些方面，要求水私有化的国际压力是世纪和更早开始的私有化运动的延伸。了解夏威夷在世纪末和二十世纪初的决策动态具有重要意义，因为这些过程不仅塑造了当代水冲突的特征，而且为二十世纪剩余时间和二十一世纪的水冲突解决奠定了基础。了解特定的政治，法律的，科学和技术的背景下，水的决定，在这一时期可能是在当前和未来的决策过程中的价值，由国家机构和司法机构，今天在很大程度上借鉴历史先例。对夏威夷水法在19世纪末激烈变革时期的分析揭示了法律和法律的体系同时反映和塑造它们运作的社会的方式。此外，该项目还将重点关注土著社会对西方殖民努力作出反应、适应和提出挑战所产生的复杂动态。了解创建夏威夷的特定系统的背景下提供洞察法律作为一个动态的和有争议的系统与权力和财富的分配在夏威夷和太平洋沿岸的重大影响。
