Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This study compares two rare cases of successful anti-dam movements and one failing case of anti-Three Gorge dam movement in China and Taiwan. It argues that most of the previous anti-dam movements in China and Taiwan have appeared less effective because of the lack of universal moral claims, legitimacy and social networks. It aims to develop clear mechanisms with the epistemic communities model. It suggests that compared with the anti-Three Gorge dam movement, it is the participation of epistemic communities empowering the anti-Menon dam and anti-Nu River dam movements leads to their successes. The engagement of epistemic communities in these movements functions in the following three mechanisms: firstly, by introducing scientific knowledge to society, epistemic communities also transmit the intrinsic, hidden normative claim of the scientific evidence to society. Secondly, epistemic communities can earn social legitimacy from their authority based on their professional expertise. Thirdly, the high social status and sub-group networking of epistemic communities can open powerful channels to politics. In sum, this paper suggests that the participation of epistemic communities in social movements can enhance the negotiation power of environmental activists by providing moral claims, bestowing the legitimacy, and building the relational networks.
