Property and Sovereignty
«’Combining an impressively broad range of analyses into diverse property challenges with deep and thoughtful reflection on the relationships between property and political sovereignty, and the role of property in supporting personal (or owner) sovereignty, this book has been skilfully edited to deliver fascinating, significant and coherent insights for property theory.’ Lorna Fox O’Mahony, University of Essex, UK ’In the early 21st century, no concept has emerged as more important or contested than the idea of property. Challenges posed by political revolution, outer space exploration, vanishing coastlines, land-use conflicts, and cyberspace control have pushed conventional ideas of property to the breaking point. Property and Sovereignty is the best collection of essays on these questions to be found. It is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about what the idea of property might mean today.’ Laura S. Underkuffler, Cornell University, USA ’The chapters in Property and Sovereignty offer deep and scholarly examinations of this important topic. But they do so much more. They force the reader to expand his or her horizon about the meaning of property and its relationship to the State. The extraordinary breadth of the book takes us from property issues in fragile states to outer space; from state regulation of property to property rules in virtual worlds; and from issues of property and poverty to issues of property in the arts. The book is an excellent and expansive addition to the literature of property’. Michael Diamond, Georgetown University Law Center, USA»
