Development and Displacement draws together a number of emergent challenges to the practices and theories of development in the contemporary world, associated with forms of displacement.  The authors offer a careful analytical approach to the phenomenon of displacement, drawing on the work of development theorists, geographers and cultural studies. Illustrating the persisting importance of places and territories in a globalising world where social and economic networks and flows are increasingly significant, Development and Displacement offers a range of suggestions as to how development agendas, agencies of development, and conceptualisations of development are being reframed in response to this shifting development.

This report is the outcome of a field study carried out with cattle herders in northern Mursiland, Ethiopia. Its immediate purpose was to seek the views of local herd-owners on how the pastoral economy could be strengthened, without external intervention, in a remote area prone to cattle disease and drought. It examines ways of improving pastoralists' access to veterinary services, particularly through the training of 'paravets', and recommends ways to develop local water sources. A secondary focus, which emerged during the research, is the threat posed to pastoralists by government plans to encourage tourism in the Omo and Mago National Parks, and to construct dams on the Omo for electricity generation. The paper recommends that pressure should be put on funders, conservation bodies, and civil authorities to protect the vital subsistence resources of the Mursi people, and to ensure that they gain net benefits from the projects.
