Should local people lose out as new reservoirs, mines, plantations,
or superhighways displace them from their homes? What if the
process of resettlement were made accountable to those impacted,
empowering them to achieve just outcomes and to share in the
benefits of development projects? This book seeks to answer these
questions, putting forward powerful counterfactual case studies to
assess what problems real-world development projects would likely
have avoided if the project had followed a higher standard, such as
the World Commission on Dams policy framework. Drawing on
contributions from leading and emerging scholars from around the
world, this book considers cases involving dams, mines, roads,
housing, amongst others, from Asia, Africa, and South America. In
each case, the counterfactual approach invites us to reconsider the
dynamics of accountability and the asymmetries of power relations
in the negotiation of displacement benefits and redress.
Considering a range of theoretical and ethical perspectives, the
book concludes with practical alternative policy suggestions. This
bookâs novel approach to the dynamics of governance,
accountability, and (dis)empowerment in development projects with
displacement and resettlement will appeal to academic researchers,
development practitioners, and policy makers.
One of the most important contributions to contemporary political
philosophy, Rawls's A Theory of Justice, re-ignited political
philosophy and revolutionized how we theorize about justice.
Rawls's approach to justice advanced political philosophy in
important and valuable ways - most significantly in the way that it
showed that political philosophy remained relevant for our lives
and our world. Unsurprisingly, over forty years later, social and
global realities present theories of justice with new challenges.
This volume examines what these new challenges are, and whether
contemporary theories are in a position to respond to them. The
collection brings together essays that push the boundaries of
justice theorizing in new directions, and that begin to construct a
new paradigm. The collection contributes to the creation of a
platform from which new ideas and new conversations, about the
challenges and opportunities for justice in our world, can be
further explored and developed.

For decades, policy-makers in government, development banks and
foundations, NGOs, researchers and students have struggled with the
problem of how to protect people who are displaced from their homes
and livelihoods by development projects. This book addresses these
concerns and explores how debates often become deadlocked between
'managerial' and 'movementist' perspectives. Using development
ethics to determine the rights and responsibilities of various
stakeholders, the authors find that displaced people must be
empowered so as to share equitably in benefits rather than being
victimized. They propose a governance model for development
projects that would transform conflict over displacement into a
more manageable collective bargaining process and would empower
displaced people to achieve equitable results. Their book will be
valuable for readers in a wide range of fields including ethics,
development studies, politics and international relations as well
as policy making, project management and community development.
