“Professor Mathur assembles more than a dozen case examples from around the world in which project proponents, financing institution staff, government agency officials, resettlement social scientists, NGOs, and civil society personnel all labored in close collaboration and consultation with project-affected people and communities in crafting innovative solutions to achieve ‘resettlement with development’. A useful and welcome addition to the emerging literature on cases of positive resettlement outcomes that counterbalance the dominant narrative of resettlement failure, this book illustrates what is possible and what can be achieved.”
David B. Halmo, independent researcher and co-author of Resettling Displaced Communities: Applying the International Standard for Involuntary Resettlement
Through careful documentation and analysis of successful aspects of development-driven resettlement projects, this book maps out essential elements to ensure that projects include the full participation of affected people and enhance living standards and improve livelihoods.
Anthony Oliver-Smith, University of Florida
“As the case studies assembled in this volume show, when there is enough pressure to solve resettlement fairly, practical solutions can be found, which is a sharp rebuke to the ‘grin and bear it’ rationalizations that continue to justify unacceptable displacements of the poor.”
Scott Guggenheim, Gerorgetown University
This is a pioneering work, containing fifteen good practice examples from leading resettlement practitioners based in about a dozen different countries. This book will be widely welcomed by scholars, policy makers, and administrators.
T.K. Oommen, Jawaharlal Nehru University
“These case studies by well-known resettlement practitioners provide powerful insights from different parts of the world for increasing effectiveness of resettlement policy, practice, and evaluation.”
