This book examines how states in eight countries across Asia and
the Pacific address internal displacement in the context of
disasters and climate change. The Asia and the Pacific region
accounts for the majority of global disaster-related displacement,
but the experience of the millions of individuals displaced differs
according to gender, age, ethnicity, (dis)ability, caste, and so
forth and is dependent on the legal, administrative, social, and
economic structures and processes in place to support them. This
book adopts a human rights-based approach, investigating the role
of law and policy in preventing displacement, protecting people who
are displaced, and engendering durable solutions across cases drawn
from Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Nepal,
Bangladesh, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. The specific cases in
the book also reflect critically on the term 'displacement' and the
wider normative framework within which this phenomenon is
conceptualised and addressed. The book will be of interest to
students, researchers, and practitioners working at the
intersection of human rights, human mobility, development, disaster
risk reduction and management, and climate change adaptation.
Against an ever-expanding and diversifying 'rights talk', this book
re-opens the question of obligation from not only legal but also
ethical, sociological and political perspectives. Its premise is
that obligation has a primacy ahead of rights, because rights
attach to practices and modes of being that are already saturated
with obligations. Obligations thus lie at the core not just of law
but of community. Yet the distinctive meanings, range and
situations of obligation have tended to remain under-theorised in
legal scholarship. In response, this book examines the sense in
which we are multiply 'bound beings', to law and legal
institutions, as much as we are to place, community, memory and the
various social institutions that give shape to collective life.
Sharing this set of concerns, each of the international group of
scholars contributing to this volume traces the specificity of the
binding force of obligations, their techniques and modes of
expression, as well as their centrally important role in giving
form to lawful relations. Together they provide an innovative and
challenging contribution to legal scholarship: one that will also
be of relevance to those working in politics, philosophy and social
theory.

Access to justice for all, regardless of the ability to pay, has
been a core democratic value. But this basic human right has come
under threat through wider processes of restructuring, with an
increasingly market-led approach to the provision of welfare.
Professionals and volunteers in Law Centres in Britain are
struggling to provide legal advice and access to welfare rights to
disadvantaged communities. Drawing upon original research, this
unique study explores how strategies to safeguard these vital
services might be developed in ways that strengthen rather than
undermine the basic ethics and principles of public service
provision. The book explores how such strategies might strengthen
the position of those who provide, as well as those who need,
public services, and ways to empower communities to work more
effectively with professionals and progressive organisations in the
pursuit of rights and social justice agendas more widely.
By re-examining the quotation of psalms in Paul, this book offers a
fresh interpretation of the New Testament's reception of the Old
Testament. Richard Hays's influential Echoes of Scripture in the
Letters of Paul astutely identified the rhetorical device of
metalepsis, or echo, as central to the study of Pauline
hermeneutics. Hays's Paul was in sympathetic dialogue with the
voice of Scripture, but Matthew Scott now challenges this
assumption with close readings of echoed psalms voiced by David and
Christ. Paul's use of metalepsis in Romans and 2 Corinthians
reveals him to be a provocative, even polemical, reader who
appropriates the words of David for a Christological purpose. Scott
also illustrates how Christ succeeds David as the premier psalmist
in Paul and considers whether, in doing so, Christ acts as
inheritor or iconoclast.

Climate Change, Disasters and the Refugee Convention is concerned
with refugee status determination (RSD) in the context of disasters
and climate change. It demonstrates that the legal predicament of
people who seek refugee status in this connection has been
inconsistently addressed by judicial bodies in leading refugee law
jurisdictions, and identifies epistemological as well as doctrinal
impediments to a clear and principled application of international
refugee law. Arguing that RSD cannot safely be performed without a
clear understanding of the relationship between natural hazards and
human agency, the book draws insights from disaster anthropology
and political ecology that see discrimination as a contributory
cause of people's differential exposure and vulnerability to
disaster-related harm. This theoretical framework, combined with
insights derived from the review of existing doctrinal and judicial
approaches, prompts a critical revision of the dominant human
rights-based approach to the refugee definition.
