Impacts of the delay in construction of a large scale hydropower project on potential displacees
Literature on impact assessment and involuntary displacement mostly explains the impacts that might occur or have occurred on the local communities during and after involuntary displacement induced by development projects. However, there is only very limited research that considers the impacts local communities experience during the pre-implementation phase of the project. Our research attempts to highlight the impacts caused by large-scale proje…
The Discursive Politics of Water Management in India: Desecuritising Himalayan River Basins
Orthodox approaches to managing Himalayan rivers endorse a singular focus on water as a resource to be harnessed for national security and economic progress, as epitomised by the proposed acceleration of large-scale hydropower construction in the Brahmaputra basin. In reality, existing large-scale hydropower development in the region frequently involves corruption, environmental destruction and forced displacement. This paper argues for an altern…

Multiplexes, corporatised leisure and the geography of opportunity in India
While earlier cinemas were built in response to growing urban populations during the twentieth century, the first wave of multiplexes in India were built in anticipation of future wealth. In recent years, multiplex developments have been targeting various areas identified for growth in the urban redevelopment plans now being adopted across India, anticipating a larger “consuming class” spreading beyond existing pockets of affluence and occupying …
Constructing walls of carbon – the complexities of community, carbon sequestration and protected areas in Uganda
Carbon forestry represents a degree of continuity and discontinuity with traditional conservation practices, rescripting forestry management/governance and land access through projects on the ground in variegated, context-dependent ways. Utilising the comparative lens of two distinct projects operating on state-led protected areas in the east of Uganda, and focusing on their contested boundaries, this paper reflects on these dynamics and tries to…
Trans-Boundary Water Resources and Uneven Development: Crisis Within and Beyond Contemporary India
The already divisive politics of South Asia's trans-boundary water resources are further complicated by the rush to construct large- and medium-scale dams. While highly contested in India today, hydropower construction reflects a nexus of state and capital that discriminates against the poorest and most marginalised citizens. Alternatives to the multiple crises of water within and beyond India must look beyond state-centrism and, instead, promote…
Port reform, South Asian migrant workers and spaces of vulnerability in Port Klang, Malaysia
The corporatisation of Port Klang from the mid‐1980s onwards was a significant moment in the history of Malaysia's political economy and generated considerable momentum for the changes that were to occur in this late industrialising nation under the leadership of the Barisan Nasional government. In particular, the restructuring of how labour was organised in Malaysia's most significant port became frequently cited both within and outside the coun…
Multiplex Cinemas and Urban Redevelopment in India
The aim of this article is to introduce the phenomenon of the multiplex theatre as it is being played out within the complex urban geographies of metropolitan India. Since its inception a decade ago, the multiplex cinema in the subcontinent has become an intrinsic component of a new leisure infrastructure configured around the notion of a 'consuming class' keen to take its place amongst a 'global middle class'. The dramatic growth in multiplex ci…

Rural developments: A case study from Bankura
Faulkner's Caddy
There are no extraneous characters in fiction. As far as the structure of a novel is concerned, every character depends upon every other. If a novelist accepts this condition as a challenge to his ingenuity, his work can take any number of directions. Dickens's method in a book like Bleak House - the arranging of dozens of characters into a structure so contrived that the least movement of the least significant of them causes it to topple into a …
