The world seems to have recently discovered India and China as major players in Asia, and political and economic connections between the two countries are rapidly growing. Beyond the fashionable phenomenon, the two countries have much in common and many shared experiences. Both are developing countries with dynamic economies focused on lifting their people out of poverty. There are also differences as well, as India is a democracy while China is an autocratic state, and the speed of economic growth is much higher in India. This collection provides a comparative analysis of development-induced migration in India and China caused by urbanization and dam construction. The contributors include scholars from both countries working in both academia and consultancy positions.

Florence Padovani has assembled an amazing set of papers focused on the effects of displacement from urban development and dam construction in China and India, and has very skillfully presented them in a comparative perspective in this superb book. Comparing such experiences is never easy, particularly in situations where the challenges of development-induced displacement are similar, but where the approaches followed to address them diverge hugely. A path-breaking study, this book will be of great interest to resettlement researchers, practitioners, and also students everywhere, not in India and China alone.
