Development-induced Displacement by Chris De Wet
Many people worldwide are displaced every year, due to development projects, such as the construction of dams, conservation or mining projects. This volume argues that there is a complexity inherent in trying to reconcile enforced displacement of people with the subsequent creation of a socio-economically viable and sustainable environment.-
