Recent years have seen a globalization of property rights as the
Western conception of property over land has extended across the
world. As formerly community-owned land and natural resources are
privatized and titling schemes proliferate, Property Rights from
Below questions the trend toward treating land as a commodity and
explores alternatives to the Western model. As 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, Property Rights from Below
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. This 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.
