The Routledge Handbook of Property, Law and Society

"""The editors have brought together an impressive and diverse group of authors from across the globe. The book deals with property in the context of law and society and therefore illustrates how property comes to life in the real world whilst at the same time providing a rich source of state of the art research for property scholars."" Bram Akkermans, Professor of Property Law, Maastricht University, the Netherlands ""This fascinating and diverse collection deserves space on every property scholar's shelf. The book moves property debates forwards, proposing intellectual and theoretical frameworks to understand property as a form of spatial, social and ecological governance. Incorporating knowledge on race, colonialization and legal pluralism, the book increases the scope of our debate about what property is and could be."" Antonia Layard, Professor of Law, University of Oxford, UK ""The institution of property offers a special opportunity to explore the inevitable tensions between the forces of stability and justice-inspired change. Professors Graham, Davies, and Godden have assembled an all-star cast to conduct this exploration across a range of axes - from theory to doctrine to practice. The book is a critical and highly-accessible resource for scholars, practitioners, government officials, activists, and anyone else intrigued by questions surrounding the meaning of ownership."" Timothy M. Mulvaney, Professor of Law, Texas A&M University School of Law, USA"
