The Sardar Sarovar Dam Project: Selected DocumentsPhilippe Cullet The Sardar Sarovar Project has been one of the most debated development projects of the past several decades at both an international level and within India itself.

The work includes an introductory section focusing on the history of the project, the involvement of the different actors, the impacts on the local population, and a general analysis of the controversy surrounding it. In providing an easily accessible source for all the main documents relating to this landmark project, this compilation will be a valuable resource for researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of International Environmental Law and International Development Law. |
