英文摘要	This article presents the Liwa Oasis as a hydrosocial territory defined by its natural resource, social, economic, and political context and how they manifest in policy and practice. The article identifies these components through analysis of the political economy of water management and agricultural production systems. Two distinct hydrosocial periods are defined: from independence in 1971 to the formation of agencies with water sustainability remits in 2006, and then from 2010 to the present, when subsidy regimes incentivized changes to cropping in existing agricultural production systems. The changes between these periods reflect alterations in the hydrosocial cycle stemming from natural resource degradation and how agriculture policy responded to it while still meeting social stability and food security objectives. In Liwa, water management and agricultural production regimes reflect the distributive nature of the state in that agricultural subsidies and payments are a significant source of supplementary income for UAE citizens. The current hydrosocial cycle leads to major groundwater resource degradation, which is beginning to pose a major challenge to the system. This disruption is at the heart of the hydrosocial dialectic playing out now in Liwa: resource degradation and depletion will ultimately require new patterns of resource utilisation, though arriving at new practices will require new laws, policies and modes of governance, which will alter the political, social, and economic context.
