Viewed by some as symbols of progress and by others as inherently
flawed, large dams remain one of the most contentious development
issues on Earth. Building on the work of the now defunct World
Commission on Dams, Thayer Scudder wades into the debate with
unprecedented authority.Employing the Commission's Seven Strategic
priorities, Scudder charts the 'middle way' forward by examining
the impacts of large dams on ecosystems, societies and political
economies. He also analyses the structure of the decision-making
process for water resource development and tackles the highly
contentious issue of dam-induced resettlement, illuminated by a
statistical analysis of 50 cases.
