This book explores the complex legal, cultural, economic and human
rights issues associated with development-induced displacement and
resettlement (DIDR) in Vietnam. As in many parts of the world,
urban expansion and large-scale infrastructure projects in Vietnam
often rely on forced land acquisition, which can result in the
involuntary resettlement of households and entire communities. This
book examines the adequacy of monetary and in-kind compensation and
the support that resettlees need for successful integration into
host communities and for sustainable livelihoods and improved
well-being. It presents new paradigms and practices that place
affected households at the centre of project planning and
implementation to fully address the needs of the most vulnerable.
This includes women, the elderly, and ethnic minority groups.
Bringing together research evidence, practical experience, and
insights of distinguished researchers, this book is the first to
systematically examine DIDR in Vietnam, a single-party state
seeking to balance state interests with the demands of investors
and civil society for human rights and participation by affected
people. Combining the latest evidence and research findings on
development-induced displacement and resettlement in Vietnam with
practical experiences in project implementation, this book will be
a useful guide for researchers across development, migration, and
Southeast Asian Studies, as well as practitioners and policy
makers. Its lessons will also be relevant to other countries facing
rapid development.

The problem of escalating population displacement demands global
attention and country co-ordination. This book investigates the
particular issue of development-induced displacement, whereby land
is seized or restricted by the state for the purposes of
development projects. Those displaced by these schemes often risk
losses to their homes, livelihoods, food security, and
socio-cultural support; for which they are rarely fully
compensated. Bringing together 22 specialist researchers and
practitioners from across the globe, this book provides a
much-needed independent analysis of country frameworks for
development-induced displacement spanning Asia, Africa, Central and
South America. As global competition for land increases, public and
private sector lenders are lightening their social safeguards,
shifting the oversight for protecting the displaced to national law
and regulations. This raises a central question: Do countries have
effective ways of addressing the risks and lost opportunities for
their people who are displaced? While many countries remain
impervious to the problem, the book also shines a light on the few
who are pioneering new legislation and strategies, intended to
address questions such as: should the social costs to those
displaced help determine whether a project meets the public
interest and merits financing? Does the modern state need powers of
eminent domain? How can country laws, systems, institutions and
negotiations be reformed to protect citizens better against
disempowering public and private sector development displacement?
This book will interest those working on forced and voluntary
migration, property and expropriation law, human rights,
environmental and social impact assessment, internal and refugee
displacement from conflicts, environment change, disasters and
development.
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.
Online media present both old and new ethical issues for
journalists who must make decisions in an interactive,
instantaneous environment short on normative standards or
guidelines. This user-friendly book guides prospective and
professional journalists through ethical questions encountered only
online. Including real-life examples and perspectives from online
journalists in every chapter, the book examines the issues of
gathering information, reporting, interviewing, and writing for
mainstream news organizations on the Web. It considers the ethical
implications of linking, interactivity, verification, transparency,
and Web advertising, as well as the effects of convergence on
newsrooms. It also addresses the question of who is a journalist
and what is journalism in an age when anyone can be a publisher.
Each chapter includes a complex case study that promotes critical
thinking and classroom discussion about how to apply the ethical
issues covered.

Educating for Sustainable Development (ESD) approaches are holistic
and interdisciplinary, values-driven, participatory, multi-method,
locally relevant and emphasize critical thinking and
problem-solving. This book explains how ESD approaches work in the
Japanese context; their effects on different stakeholders; and
their ultimate potential contribution to society in Japan. It
considers ESD in both formal and informal education sectors,
recognizing that even when classroom learning takes place it must
be place-based and predicated on a specific community context. The
book explores not only 'Why ESD', but why and how ESD in Japan has
gained importance in the past decade and more recently in the wake
of the triple disaster of March 2011. It considers how ESD can help
Japan recover and adapt to disasters and take initiative in
building more resilient and sustainable communities. This volume
asks the questions: What are some examples of positive
contributions by ESD to sustainability in Japan? What is the role
of ESD in Japan in activating people to demand and work towards
change? How can schools, universities and non-governmental
organizations link with communities to strengthen civic awareness
and community action? After an introduction that elucidates the
roots and recent promotion of ESD in Japan, part one of this volume
looks at the formal education sector in Japan, while part two
examines community-based education and sustainability initiatives.
The latter revisits the Tohoku region five years on from the events
of March 2011, to explore recovery and revitalization efforts by
schools, NGOs and residents. This is an invaluable book for
postgraduate students, researchers, teachers and policy makers
working on ESD.

The Night of the Double Moon, the ghost woman appeared by the woods
near the gate. She stood waiting. She was waiting for Sarah Jane to
die. She was waiting to take her spirit. Sarah Jane Singer was nine
years-old in 1928. She was very ill with pneumonia. As Sarah Jane
became more ill, strange things happened in Gladeville. Three boys
were discovered murdered and people claim to have seen a ghost
woman dancing among the stones of the Hibdon Cemetery.
In 1864, a drought caused a small lake to recede. What lay at the
bottom of the lake sent hundreds of Union soldiers to the small
town of Gladeville, Tennessee.In 1861, The men of Gladeville joined
the Confederate Army. Union soldiers had taken all of their food
and live stock. Among the Gladeville men were two brothers, George
and John Cluck. George was nineteen. John was eighteen.Only old
men, women, and children remained.Victoria and Candis were
betrothed to George and John. Every day, Victoria and Candis went
to the Gladeville Church to wait for George and John to return. As
the months passed, their hope dimmed but their love grew.Based on
fact, fiction, and a local legend, Two Bullets for Sergeant Franks
is the story of a Sergeant that held the men together for battle.
It is the story of true events from the Confederate archives of
George and John's military careers.It is the story of two women who
waited for them to return. It is the story of the dead Union
soldiers found in the receded lake.
Set against the backdrop of the Civil War and its aftermath, War
Criminals's Son by Civil War scholar Jane Singer brings to life
hidden aspects of the conflict through the sweeping sage of the
infamous Confederate Winder family and it's first born son, who
shattered family ties to stand with the Union. General John H.
Winder was the hard-handed provost martial of Richmond and
subsequent commander of all prisons in the Confederate capital
--including the prisoner of war death camp, Andersonville
Prison--who had a reputation of being a cruel tyrant who brutalized
his prisoners, even his own people. When he gives his son, William
Andrew Winder, the order to come south and fight, or desert or
commit suicide rather than ally with the Union, William goes to the
White House, swearing his alligiance to President Lincoln, and is
sent to command Alcatraz, a fortess-turned-Civil War prison. As the
war dragged on and men were dying daily in his father's keep,
William treated his prisoners humanely in spite of being repeatedly
accused of disloyalty and treason. Though General John Winder died
before he could be brought to justice, his subordinate, Henry Wirz,
was charged with war crimes and executed after his trial, the first
war crime trial by military commission in American history. Haunted
by his father's villainy, William is sent into a lifelong exile, on
a mission to do good at all costs. We meet the politicians,
pioneers, traitors, and generals who blazed through William's life
until he stops at the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, where
alone, old, and ailing, he vowed to better the lot of the Native
Americans. In War Criminal's Son, Jane Singer reexamines the
horrors of Andersonville Prison and the command of Alcatraz with
new, unpublished research and family materials, bringing to life a
family and a country at war, with the universal themes of loyalty,
family shame, and reclamation of lost honor in the face of
unspeakable cruelty.
