Some ten million people worldwide are displaced or resettled every
year, due to development projects, such as the construction of
dams, irrigation schemes, urban development, transport,
conservation or mining projects. The results have usually been very
negative for most of those people who have to move, as well as for
other people in the area, such as host populations. People are
often left socially and institutionally disrupted and economically
worse-off, with the environment also suffering as a result of the
introduction of infrastructure and increased crowding in the areas
to which people had to move. The contributors to this volume argue
that there is a complexity, and a tension, inherent in trying to
reconcile enforced displacement of people with the subsequent
creation of a socio-economically viable and sustainable
environment. Only when these are squarely confronted, will it be
possible to adequately deal with the problems and to improve
resettlement policies.
