Summary

In this volume we have attempted to give full attention to the many difficulties and dilemmas that characterize development by displacement. Identifying and recognizing the dynamic, distinguishing its constitutive elements, and attempting to address the situation are difficult tasks. The challenge is made all the more daunting by the impasse we have described between two of the main camps into which those who have recognized displacement seem to fall – those of the ‘managerial’ and those of the ‘movementist’ positions. Such characterizations are necessarily reductive and often the result of the heated and passionate rhetoric inflamed by the debates on development-induced displacement. We must recognize that of course not all managerialists would insist on development at all costs, much as not all movementists would necessarily insist on a halt to all development on general principle. Indeed, in Chapter 2 we examined in detail just how this polarized set of positions has emerged in the world of development and why this trajectory has led to the current untenable situation. What we have argued in this volume is that an approach rooted in development ethics is a productive way of starting to bridge the gap between movementist and managerial concerns. We have spent much of the preceding chapters examining the roots of the development and displacement dilemma and laying the theoretical foundation for an ethical response to it.
