This book examines land acquisition and resettlement experience in
Asian countries, where nearly two-thirds of the world’s
development-induced displacement currently takes place. Faced with
the complexity of balancing legal frameworks and resettlement
needs, along with increasing demands for safeguarding displaced
peoples, in recent years many countries within Asia have adopted
integrated land and resettlement laws. This book presents a
comparative review and assessment of the impact of the new land and
resettlement laws and regulatory frameworks for expropriation,
compensation and resettlement. Written by an international,
interdisciplinary team of experts from both practice and academia,
the book demonstrates the ongoing challenges and struggles
associated with social and resettlement risk assessments, the
social and cultural exclusion of indigenous/vulnerable groups in
some countries, and the lack of institutional capacity to
adequately deal with resettlement management and administration.
The case studies and comparative analyses of laws and practices
relating to expropriation, compensation and resettlement make
significant contributions to advancing resettlement knowledge and
management practices. The book will be useful as a reference for
development practitioners and for researchers across the fields of
global development, political science, Asian studies, planning and
law. The book also has potential use as a resource for resettlement
management training programs and graduatelevel courses/seminars in
development studies.

In Bangladesh, the chars within the river channels are an important
part of its landscape. However, these land masses continue to
remain isolated, deprived of services, and pockets of poverty in
the country. The char dwellers are vulnerable to natural hazards
like flood and erosion. In addition to these hazards, the coastal
chars are faced with the imminent problem of widespread inundation
due to sea level rise resulting from climate change. Within this
context, the book Living on the Edge: Char Dwellers in Bangladesh
has brought together valuable scholarship on the diverse issues
relating to the chars and the communities living in there. This
comprehensive collection, with contribution of experts on the
subject from across the globe, provides an understanding of the
problems faced by the char dwellers and also comes up with policy
prescriptions for ensuring overall welfare of char communities in
the country.
A very first for Bangladesh, this edited book examines the complex
issues of development-induced displacement and resettlement using
case studies with good practice examples from a wide range of
ongoing projects. The authors, who are largely practitioners in the
field of resettlement studies, are well-known in the country and
internationally for their expert knowledge. The book establishes a
baseline for further research on resettlement and development in
Bangladesh. It is rich in well-presented case studies replete with
evidence-based strategies to help prevent impoverishment amongst
those displaced by development projects. The chapters in this
collection address emerging issues and approaches to resettlement
and thus have enriched the literature in an era of rapid economic
development and change. Thus, the book will remain as a valuable
resource and reference or teaching aid in academic and development
circles.
