This edited book explores the complex phenomena of displacement, migration and resettlement, focusing on the underlying causes such as natural disasters - such as earthquakes, flooding, and other climate-related disasters - infrastructure development, political/social conflicts and other local/global forces like war and statelessness. The book features contributions from a diverse group of local and international scholars, expert practitioners, and policy-makers with expertise in various types and aspects of displacement and resettlement. It stands out as the first comprehensive work in Pakistan to examine the full spectrum of displacement phenomena. The distinctive approach of the book lies in its detailed analysis of the socio-cultural , political and economic impacts of displacement, drawing on historical context and critical evaluation of current field practices through case studies and reviews of past experiences.
