Development-induced Displacement: Problems, Policies and People
ΠΠ° Π΅-ΠΊΠ½ΠΈΠ³Π°Π²Π°
The contributors to this volume argue that there is a complexity, and a tension, inherent in trying to reconcile enforced displacement of people with the subsequent creation of a socio-economically viable and sustainable environment. Only when these are squarely confronted, will it be possible to adequately deal with the problems and to improve resettlement policies.
