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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivier de Schutter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138657247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138657243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Olivier de Schutter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087759028479,"sku":"9781138657243","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23676b6b-618d-4a53-b57a-1fc36c188f82.jpg?v=1769101235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/property-rights-from-below-olivier-de-schutter-9781138657243","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
