Looks at the complex interrelationships between forced migration, natural resource management and 'sustainable development'. It challenges the growing rhetoric that refugees 'cause' environmental degradation, and that environmental decline is promoting a new wave of 'environmental refugees'. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as detailed case studies of the Rwandan emergency of 1994-96, and lesser known refugee movements to Guinea and Senegal in West Africa, the book argues against a neo-Malthusian view of the relationship between population, environment and migration. *Practical examples show the relevance and dangers of different environmental management strategies in refugee and post-conflict situations *Based on real cases *Challenges emerging discourse on refugees and environmental degradation *Explores alternative theoretical approaches *Links to broader debates on 'sustainable development' *Challenges the distinctions between 'relief' and 'development'
