This study compares the community life of villagers in two widely separate parts of the earth -- western Japan and the east coast of Spain fronting the Mediterranean Sea near Valencia. Here are farmlands half a world apart, yet strikingly alike even in visible details, being well-watered coastal plains given over to small, intensively cultivated rice fields wherever water can be led by a complex system of irrigation canals. Attention is called particularly to the elaborate irrigation systems, each the product of about 1,000 years of development, and to the prevalence of smallholder owner-farmers in the two areas. The central question treated here is how closely patterns of landholding and productive technology may be linked to basic patterns of local social organization.

Crafting institutions related to the supply and use of irrigation systems require skills in understanding how rules, combined with particular physical, economic, and cultural environments, produce incentives and outcomes. If the users and suppliers of irrigation systems design their own institutional arrangements to cope with the physical, economic, social, and cultural features of each system, the variety of institutional arrangements could be immense. Examining specific rules of particular systems, however, is like focusing on specific blueprints of successful irrigation projects around the world. Recent theoretical and empirical work on institutional design has attempted to elucidate the core design principles used in long-enduring, self-organized irrigation institutions throughout the world. By "design principle" is meant a characteristic that helps to account for the success of these institutions in sustaining the physical works and gaining the compliance of generations of users to the rules in use. By "long enduring" is meant that the irrigation system has been in operation for at least several generations. Eight design principles identified in prior research are discussed and analyzed.
