Sobre aquest llibre
Since the 1990s, development-induced displacement has emerged as a major human rights concern. At the heart of this debate lie the issues of equity, governance, justice and power. There are many examples of dam-induced displacement and resettlement being mismanaged and thus leading to enormous social and environmental costs. The developing impasse necessitated fresh insights into the lives of affected people, and a review of assumptions, questions and options in social engineering, a challenge that was taken up in sociological and anthropological research. This book is an endeavour to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive outlook on the human rights issues involved in development induced displacement.
This book is a sincere effort to provide a critical analysis of the environmental, social and economic impacts of development projects. It further calls for a serious deliberation on the human rights aspects of development induced displacement.
