"The Sardar Sarovar Dam Project has been one of the most debated development projects of the past several decades at the international level and within India itself. Such is the complexity of the project that it has acquired symbolic status in development debates. This volume brings together all the key elements relating to the project. This includes those pertaining to World Bank loans, the judicial pronouncements of the Supreme Court and documents relating to specific local level issues, in particular environment and rehabilitation. 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 general analysis of the controversy surrounding it. The volume is completed by a selected bibliography."--Jacket
