In this set of essays,public lawyers, property lawyers and legal
philosophers examine the public dimensions of private property. At
a time when governments across the globe are privatising formerly
public property, the public forum is being replaced by the
privately owned shopping mall, and an increasing range of interests
are being described as 'property', an examination of the powers
which attach to ownership becomes all the more pressing. The
contributors consider whether property is a human right, its role
in making responsible citizens, its relationship to freedom of
speech and other values, the proper scope of constitutional
protections of private property, impediments to the redistribution
of property, and attempts to redress historical wrongs by property
settlements to indigenous people. Taking a richly comparative
perspective, examples have been drawn from jurisdictions as diverse
as the United Kingdom, South Africa, Germany, the United States,
and New Zealand. Contributors: Janet McLean (ed), Kevin Gray, Susan
Francis Gray, Geoffrey Samuel, J W Harris, Gregory Alexander, Andre
van der Walt, Tom Allen, Jeremy Waldron, Maurice Goldsmith, Alex
Frame, John Dawson, Michael Robertson.
