Humanitarian and development specialists continue to struggle with designing and executing effective protection strategies and durable solutions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelocation Failures explains how internal displacement and efforts to engineer resettlement are conceived and practiced by policy makers and practitioners. The author argues that policies for internally displaced peoples are weak and diluted by narrow interpretations of state sovereignty and collective action dilemmas, and in the case of Sri Lanka, unintentionally intensified ethnic segregation and ultimately war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis unique new book considers the origins and parameters of internal displacement and resettlement policy and practice and proposes an explanation for why it often fails. In highlighting the ways that development assistance can exacerbate smoldering conflicts, the volume provides an important caution to the aid community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Muggah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848130465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848130463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009","brand":"Robert Muggah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113741332735,"sku":"9781848130463","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f50b69e4-cca8-4024-8fde-6a1dd7e64a27.jpg?v=1769617012","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/relocation-failures-in-sri-lanka-robert-muggah-9781848130463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
