Biography
Sabrina Habich is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Tübingen, Germany.
"Habich argues that the case studies provide evidence of 'fragmented mediation under hierarchy' consisting of local governments caught in a double-bind, forced to obey orders issued by their superiors who are subject to the project margins of hydropower companies but also placed under pressure to satisfy the demands made by local resettlement communities (p148)."
