INTD 4406

Development programs, large and small, frequently cause population resettlement, both voluntary and involuntary. This course focuses on the study of development-induced involuntary population displacement – physical, economic and cultural - and on post-displacement resettlement and reconstruction. Such population movements will be analyzed in the course not as idiosyncratic, accidental side-effects of particular projects, but as a category of complex social processes inherent to development.
