Climate Change and Displacement
Climate change is expected to eventually affect hundreds and millions of people and they will require resettlement, since their existing habitations will no longer remain liveable. Resettlement as a response to climate change impacts (or an adaptation strategy) is now becoming increasingly acceptable. But for humanitarian agencies, essentially focused on protecting and assisting the victims of human rights abuses, resettlement is an unchartered t…
Displacement and Resettlement in India
In the past ten years or so, displacement by development projects has gone on almost untamed under the globalization pressures to meet the demand for land from local and increasingly foreign investors. Focusing on India, this book looks at the complex issue of resettling people who are displaced for the sake of development. The book discusses how the affected farming communities are fiercely opposing the development projects that often leave them…
Displacement and Resettlement in India
Resettling Displaced People
Social Impact Assessment
Projects undertaken without the knowledge of their likely social impacts tend to produce unintended hardships for the local population. In order to preempt such failures, planning agencies, especially international aid agencies, insist on a prior assessment of possible harmful consequences of development interventions, so that corrective actions could be taken well in time. In India, the new National R&R policy 2007 has also mandated that a SIA b…
Investor-Friendly Development Policies
India has adopted investor-friendly development policies under globalising influences. The present paper examines the adverse social and cultural impacts of these policies on the tribal people of Orissa, a state in eastern India. With its rich natural resource endowment and investor-friendly policies, Orissa is witnessing a private sector investment boom in mining, steel and other sectors. However, investment projects have significantly displaced…
The Future of Large Dams
A new deal for displaced people
Because of its rich natural resources and the new investor-friendly development policies, Orissa in recent years has become an attractive investment destination for large corporations, but the increased level of development activity has only led to displacement on a scale much larger than before. Recognizing the urgent need for a comprehensive policy to address the emerging problems of development-induced displacement, the government of Orissa in…

Développement participatif et administration publique
La formation des administrateurs en Inde
The training of civil servants in India. After Independence the concept of training of civil servants was seriously questioned. What was the aim of training ? Indeed, the role of administration now is fundamentally different from what is used to be before Independence. Its main attributes then concentrated on taxes and the maintenance of order ; civil servants kept aloof, and the people feared them. Things have changed considerably ever since. Ci…

Measuring Peasant Attitudes to Modernization
A photographic test for attitude measurement (PHOTAM) based on the projective principle provides an effective means for evaluating objectively as well as subjectively attitude profiles of modernizing peasants as demonstrated in a study of agricultural change in Campeche, Mexico. PHOTAM involves ten steps: (1) reconnaissance to provide an empathetic overview of the peasant group, (2) a priori selection of attitudes postulated for resolving the res…
