  abstract = {{R}esearch on hydropower development has shown that a diversity of social and environmental impacts of dams is distributed unevenly among various state and corporate actors and riparian populations. {T}his article analyses how two neighbouring socialist states, {C}hina and {V}ietnam, govern dam-induced resettlement along their respective sections of the {R}ed {R}iver {W}atershed. {O}ur investigation focuses on resettlement villages created during the construction of the {M}adushan ({C}hina) and {B}an {C}hat ({V}ietnam) reservoirs and testifies that resettlement policies on both sides of the border serve statist modernization agendas that fail to acknowledge {D}ai ({C}hina) and {T}hai ({V}ietnam) ethnic minority livelihoods. {W}hile local populations endure the greatest impacts from dam-induced changes in water allocation and the ensuing consequences for land resources, the benefits of hydropower development are first and foremost shared among state-owned and/or state-backed energy companies. {T}hese companies reap huge profits from their role as power generators for capitalist production, while also benefiting from state authorities underevaluating resettled communities' livelihood assets. {A} comparison of the two cases reveals that despite the border that separates {C}hina and {V}ietnam, and despite both states emphasizing different resettlement discourses, governance of dam-induced resettlement is strikingly similar.},
