Development vs. Justice?

This article in AlJazeera on the ongoing Boeung Kak land dispute is not the most thorough or enlightening piece written on the issue, which has been widely reported in international press and prompted the World Bank to cease new loans to the country. However, I found the sub-headline quite provocative:

Can progress and justice co-exist in Cambodia, a country where development leaves a trail of destruction?

That question is one I think everyone working in development in Cambodia must ask themselves, even if the answer remains unclear.
