DEVELOPMENT-INDUCED DISPLACEMENT AND RESETTLEME...

This book explores the issue of development-induced resettlement  with a particular emphasis on
the humanitarian  legal  and social aspects of this problem. Today  so-called
development-induced displacement and resettlement` (DIDR) is one of the dominant causes of
internal spatial mobility worldwide. Each year over 15 million people are forced to abandon
their homes to make space for economic development infrastructure. The construction of dams and
irrigation projects  the expansion of communication networks  urbanization and re-urbanization
the extraction and transportation of mineral resources  forced evictions in urban areas  and
population redistribution schemes count among the many possible causes. Terminski aims to
present the issue of development-caused displacement as a highly diverse  global social problem
occurring in all regions of the world. As a human rights issue it poses a challenge to public
international law and to institutions providing humanitarian assistance. A significant part of
this book is devoted to the current dynamics of development-caused resettlement in Europe 
which has been neglected in the academic literature so far.
