Global Implications of Development, Disasters and Climate Change

- Responses to Displacement from Asia Pacific

Om Global Implications of Development, Disasters and Climate Change

This volume offers a thought-provoking Asia-Pacific perspective on an intensifying global problem: the forced displacement of people from their land, homes, and livelihoods due to development, disasters and climate change. It draws together theoretical and multidisciplinary perspectives with topically and geographically diverse case studies from around the region ¿ including Chinäs Three Gorges Reservoir, Japan¿s Fukushima disaster, and the Pacific¿s Banaba resettlement. In Asia-Pacific, political economy-driven rapid economic growth and foreign investment, combined with population growth, add to heightened climatic and geographic vulnerability, deepening the displacement risks.
