Synopsis

Development and Displacement draws together a number of emergent challenges to the practices and theories of development in the contemporary world, associated with forms of displacement.
The authors offer a careful analytical approach to the phenomenon of displacement, drawing on the work of development theorists, geographers and cultural studies. Illustrating the persisting importance of places and territories in a globalising world where social and economic networks and flows are increasingly significant, Development and Displacement offers a range of suggestions as to how development agendas, agencies of development, and conceptualisations of development are being reframed in response to this shifting development.
