Over the course of close to ten years, the EDID project analyzed the processes and practices of displacement due to a variety of development-related factors in a range of different cases in South and Southeast Asia, Latin and Central America, as well as parts of Africa.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">We have focused particularly on applying ethical analysis of the tension between the right to development, on the one hand, and the resulting harm to people and their human rights, on the other.One of our primary tasks has been to assess the ethical justifiability of DID and, more specifically, the conditions under which such development becomes justifiable.Based on a critical review of existing policy guidelines and frameworks relevant to DID, the project is currently in the process of putting forward a series of normative principles or guidelines that can assist in the evaluation of the justifiability of development projects that induce displacement effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Two major publications have come out of the EDID project as well as numerous articles and project reports.<\/p>\n<p>The case studies are available in a collection edited by Peter Vandergeest, Pablo Idahosa and Pablo S.
