Development-Induced Displacement and Resettlement

This book revisits what we think we know about development-induced displacement and reveals the gaps in our knowledge. It starts with an ethical discussion on how much of the DIDR decisions are simply based on assumptions rather than information and continues with an assessment of the current laws, policies and rights governing the sector. After a glimpse of the growing oppositions and powers of displaced people, the book challenges some of the most widespread assumptions, shed light on typical but unvoiced problems and suggest ways to move the practices further.
