Displacements in the Asia Pacific region are escalating. The region
has for decades experienced more than half of the world's natural
disasters and, in recent years, a disproportionately high share of
extreme weather-related disasters, which displaced 19 million
people in 2013 alone. This volume offers an innovative and
thought-provoking Asia-Pacific perspective on an intensifying
global problem: the forced displacement of people from their land,
homes, and livelihoods due to development, disasters and
environmental change. This book draws together theoretical and
multidisciplinary perspectives with diverse case studies from
around the region - including China's Three Gorges Reservoir,
Japan's Fukushima disaster, and the Pacific's Banaba resettlement.
Focusing on responses to displacement in the context of power
asymmetries and questions of the public interest, the book
highlights shared experiences of displacement, seeking new
approaches and solutions that have potential global application.
This book shows how displaced peoples respond to interlinked
impacts that unravel their social fabric and productive bases,
whether through sporadic protest, organised campaigns, empowered
mobility or; even community-based negotiation of resettlement
solutions. . The volume will be of great interest to researchers
and postgraduate students in development studies, environmental and
climate change studies, anthropology, sociology, human geography,
international law and human rights.
