This book examines land acquisition and resettlement experience in
Asian countries, where nearly two-thirds of the world’s
development-induced displacement currently takes place. Faced with
the complexity of balancing legal frameworks and resettlement
needs, along with increasing demands for safeguarding displaced
peoples, in recent years many countries within Asia have adopted
integrated land and resettlement laws. This book presents a
comparative review and assessment of the impact of the new land and
resettlement laws and regulatory frameworks for expropriation,
compensation and resettlement. Written by an international,
interdisciplinary team of experts from both practice and academia,
the book demonstrates the ongoing challenges and struggles
associated with social and resettlement risk assessments, the
social and cultural exclusion of indigenous/vulnerable groups in
some countries, and the lack of institutional capacity to
adequately deal with resettlement management and administration.
The case studies and comparative analyses of laws and practices
relating to expropriation, compensation and resettlement make
significant contributions to advancing resettlement knowledge and
management practices. The book will be useful as a reference for
development practitioners and for researchers across the fields of
global development, political science, Asian studies, planning and
law. The book also has potential use as a resource for resettlement
management training programs and graduatelevel courses/seminars in
development studies.
