SUMMARY:Chased by Development
DESCRIPTION:The model of economic growth applied in Southeast Asia has been centered on infrastructure expansion and maximization of natural resources. This in turn has implied –and condoned– the forced displacement and resettlement of (often minority or marginalized) local people who live in valuable lands or strategic places to satisfy development plans of local governments and state agencies and/or to serve the interests of private corporations. \nThis so-called development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR) is often presented as inevitable and the loss of home and livelihoods for the forced migrants has been dismissed as being ‘acceptable collateral damage’ or a ‘necessary evil’\, a price to be paid if countries are to develop. Historically associated with the construction of dams for hydroelectric power and irrigation\, DIDR increasingly occur for a wide range of projects from construction of railways and road developments and building of industrial complexes to urbanization\, commercial agriculture and conservation efforts. \nThe panel discussion to be held at SEA Junction on 19 June at 6 PM -7.30 PM will present experiences of DIDR and their impacts in selected Southeast Asian countries as well as thrash out ongoing initiatives to mitigate negative consequences of DIDR and their shortcomings. Whether development alternatives are available to at least reduce occurrence of DIDR and minimize the number of displaced people and the criteria under which projects and associated resettlement should proceed are also points of debates. \nThe tentative program of the panel discussion is as follows: \nPanel Discussion “Chased by Development”\nModerator:\nIntroduction to the panel\nRosalia Sciortino\, Director SEA Junction & Assoc.
