For the last two decades, refugees, like other immigrants, have
been settling in newer locations throughout the US and other
countries. No longer are refugees to be found only in major
metropolitan areas and gateway cities; instead, they are arriving
in small towns, rural areas, rustbelt cities, and suburbs. What
happens to them in these new destinations and what happens to the
places that receive them? Drawing on a decade's worth of
interviews, surveys, spatial analysis and community-based projects
with key informants, Dr Pablo Bose argues that the value of refugee
newcomers to their new homes cannot be underestimated.

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.
