	Risks and Rights: The Causes, Consequences, and Challenges of Development-Induced Displacement
		In situating the concept of development-induced displacement within the global context of population movements, it may be useful, on the one hand, to view internal and international migration, voluntary and involuntary movement, negative "distress" migration and positive "livelihood" migration as a continuum with no single, clear line separating one type from the other.
		Uneven development is a bad thing and sustainable development is a good thing but, for the most part, under-developed countries and communities seek to become more developed, whether that is through improving health and livelihoods, expanding educational opportunities, or building infrastructure.
		The suffering of those displaced by development projects can be as severe, and the numbers as large, as those displaced either internally or internationally by conflict and violence.

	1. LINGUISTIC ASSIMILATION
		Drift is a consequence of such things as migration into a community that speaks a different language--the mobility of an A-speaking person into a B-speaking employment or environment--intermarriage across language frontiers, differential mortality and fertility rates among language communities, and similar "demographic" factors that affect the intergenerational transmission of languages.
		Involuntary assimilation is the consequence of the operation of forces that increase the costs of using the original language and consequently reduce the incentive to use that language.
		Drift factors have played an historically important role in the linguistic assimilation of immigrants into those regions of the world that are of more recent settlement--America, Australia, Canada, and others.
