      abstract = {"Adaptation policies and measures are essential components  of any global attempt to cope with the pending impacts of  climate change. Drawing on concepts in political economy,  political ecology, justice theory, and critical development  studies, this book offers the first comprehensive,  systematic exploration of the ways in which adaptation  projects can produce unintended, undesirable results. The  authors present a political economy framework revolving  around four key processes: enclosure, exclusion,  encroachment, and entrenchment. They document the presence  of these four inequitable attributes in adaptation projects  across four case studies: the displacement of char  communities in Bangladesh; the Dutch Delta Works in the  Netherlands; Hurricane Katrina reconstruction efforts in  the United States; and the politics of technology transfer  and knowledge inequality within the United Nations  Framework Convention on Climate Change."--},
