Additional Information
Since this is the first major collection of case studies of displacement and resettlement in Bangladesh, it is expected to reach a wide readership in both academic and development circles. It will be particularly useful for relevant government departments, multilateral/bilateral development agencies, policymakers, development planners, practitioners, researchers, trainers, consultants and NGOs with particular interest in resettlement and social development. It will also be equally useful for students in social sciences, public policy and international development studies. The breadth of issues covered in the various chapters means that the book could serve as a reference/textbook in many interdisciplinary courses/studies.
