Land was the major economic resource in the pre-modern Middle
East. Questions of ownership, of access, of management and of
control occupied a central role in administration, in law, and in
rural practice over many centuries. And changes in land regimes,
such as those which took place in the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries were bound to have significant repercussions at
all levels of society.
Nevertheless, the subject of land and property relations is
still not well understood. It has also been hindered by a
concentration on Islamic legal categories which often had little
connection with property relations on the ground and by the
assumption that the Middle East witnessed much the same passage
from pre-modern to modern forms of property as is supposed to have
taken place in Europe.
