Each year, millions of people are internally displaced and
resettled in the wake of wars and floods or to make way for
large-scale development projects, and this number is increasing.
Humanitarian and development specialists continue to struggle with
designing and executing effective protection strategies and durable
solutions. Relocation Failures explains how internal displacement
and efforts to engineer resettlement are conceived and practiced by
policy makers and practitioners. The author argues that policies
for internally displaced peoples are weak and diluted by narrow
interpretations of state sovereignty and collective action
dilemmas, and in the case of Sri Lanka, unintentionally intensified
ethnic segregation and ultimately war. This unique new book
considers the origins and parameters of internal displacement and
resettlement policy and practice and proposes an explanation for
why it often fails. In highlighting the ways that development
assistance can exacerbate smoldering conflicts, the volume provides
an important caution to the aid community.
