Críticas:

'A timely collection from a diverse group of scholars, Property Rights and Neo-liberalism is thoughtfully edited to highlight the ideological dynamics of contemporary property rights movements. This is important scholarship which takes us where the action is.' John Brigham, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA 'Property Rights and Neoliberalism makes a tremendous contribution to our understanding of how property rights are increasingly contested and transformed through legal mobilizations and counter-mobilizations in national and transnational law. Each chapter is sensitive to power, contingency, and the crucial importance of popular legal consciousness in struggles over property rights. As such, the contributors illustrate the best of what law and society scholarship has to offer.' Tamir Moustafa, Simon Fraser University, Canada

Reseña del editor:

Property rights and efforts to curb state appropriation of private properties for public purposes have always held high status on the political agenda of the US and many other nations that feature a corporate capitalist economic system. In addition to this, over the last several decades conservative libertarian and neo-liberal groups have put constitutional demands for greater property protection on the agendas of courts in several countries. Studying property rights mobilization in both domestic and comparative contexts, the contributors to this volume bring a range of social science perspectives to address three primary issues: the contours and characteristics of property rights mobilizations; the degree to which property rights movements have influenced development of law in demonstrable ways; and the broader cultural, social and economic implications of modern-era property rights litigation and legal mobilizations. This will be a key text for anyone working within or interested in property rights.
