Property is a complex phenomenon comprising cultural, social, and
legal rules. During the twentieth century, property rights in land
suffered massive interference in Central and Eastern Europe. The
promise of universal and formally equal rights of land ownership,
ensuring predictability of social processes and individual
autonomy, was largely not fulfilled. The national appropriation of
property in the interwar period and the communist era represent an
onerous legacy for the postcommunist (re)construction of a
liberal-individualist property regime. However, as the scholars in
this collection show, after the demise of communism in Eastern
Europe property is again a major factor in shaping individual
identity and in providing the political order and culture with a
foundational institution. This volume analyzes both historical and
contemporary forms of land ownership in Poland, Romania, and
Yugoslavia in a multidisciplinary framework including economic
history, legal and political studies, and social anthropology.
