Description: Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and Resettlement by Michael M. Cernea, Julie K. Maldonado Development-caused forced displacement and involuntary resettlement has increased exponentially in recent years. This book challenges existing weak policies and dysfunctional practices, and proposes a robust set of solutions to improve the performance of resettlement policies and to tackle injustices and violations. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Development-caused forced displacement and resettlement (DFDR) is a critical problem on the international development agenda. The frequency of forced displacements is rapidly increasing, the sheer numbers of uprooted and impoverished people reveal fast accelerating trends, whilst government reporting remains poor and misleading. Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and Resettlement analyzes widespread impoverishment outcomes, risks to human rights, and other adverse impacts of displacement; it documents under-compensation of expropriated people, critiques cost externalization on resettlers, and points a laser light on the absence of protective, robust, and binding legal frameworks in the overwhelming majority of developing countries. In response, this book proposes constructive solutions to improve quality and measure the outcomes of forced resettlement, prevent the mass-manufacturing of new poverty, promote social justice, and respect human rights. It also advocates for the reparation of bad legacies left behind by failed resettlement. It brings together prominent scholars and practitioners from several countries who argue that states, development agencies, and private sector corporations which trigger displacements must adopt a "resettlement with development" paradigm. Towards this end, the books co-authors translate cutting edge research into legal, economic, financial, policy, and pragmatic operational recommendations. An inspiring and compelling guide to the field, Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and Resettlement will be of interest to university faculty, government officials, private corporations, researchers, and students in anthropology, economics, sociology, law, political science, human geography, and international development.

Human rights: why and how the World Bank should pursue abuse-free development and protect against rights violations linked to its projects Jessica Evans Long Description Development-caused forced displacement and involuntary resettlement is now one of the top problems on the international development agenda. Despite the expansion of policies on involuntary resettlement since the 1980s, the magnitude of development-caused displacement has exponentially increased, from ten million people displaced annually in the 1990s, to fifteen-twenty million during the 2000s, and all indications showing further acceleration during the current decade. Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and Resettlement challenges existing weak policies and dysfunctional practices, and proposes a robust set of solutions to practically and operationally improve the performance level of resettlement policies and tackle injustices and violations. Bringing together world leading and internationally reputed scholars and emerging stars within the field, Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and Resettlement documents the growing set of injustices, abuses, and human rights violations experienced by people forcibly displaced; translating cutting edge research into concrete policy recommendations, legislation, and new approaches toward achieving effective and measurable change. At a time when governments, development agencies and universities worldwide are urgently seeking solutions, Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and Resettlement: Risks, Impoverishment, Legacies, Solutions suggests a new paradigm that is inclusive of the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of resettlement and is grounded in the recognition and protection of human rights. An inspring and compelling guide to the field, this book will be of interest to development practitioners, students, and researchers of international development, sociology, political science and economics.
