As formerly community-owned land and natural resources are privatized and titling schemes proliferate, \u003ci\u003eProperty Rights from Below\u003c\/i\u003e questions the trend toward treating land as a commodity and explores alternatives to the Western model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we enter an era of resource scarcity and as competition for land and associated natural resources increases, purchasing power cannot become the sole criterion for land allocation; and the law of supply and demand in increasingly financialized markets cannot become the sole metric through which the value of land is determined. Using a range of examples from around the world, \u003ci\u003eProperty Rights from Below\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that alternatives to this model often emerge from social innovations supported by local communities and that there is an urgent need for a broader political imagination when it comes to land governance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis innovative cross-disciplinary perspective on the pressing problems surrounding global property rights will be of interest to academics, students and professionals with an interest in property law, development economics and land governance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566449877230,"sku":"9781032337425","price":77.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/property-rights-from-below-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
