Excellent- More about Property Rights from Below: Commodification of Land and the Counter-Movement

The concept of property rights has undergone a significant global transformation in recent years, as the Western notion of property ownership over land has expanded its reach across the world. This trend has seen formerly community-owned land and natural resources being privatized, leading to the proliferation of titling schemes. Property Rights from Below emerges as a powerful interrogation of this trend, challenging the notion of land as a mere commodity and exploring alternative models for its governance.
In the face of resource scarcity and escalating competition for land and associated natural resources, it becomes evident that relying solely on purchasing power as the determining factor for land allocation is insufficient. Moreover, the law of supply and demand in increasingly financialized markets cannot be the sole metric for determining the value of land. Property Rights from Below showcases a diverse range of examples from across the globe, highlighting the emergence of alternative models that often arise from social innovations supported by local communities.
The book emphasizes the urgent need for a broader political imagination when it comes to land governance. It challenges the dominant narratives that perpetuate the commodification of land and advocate for a more equitable and sustainable approach. Property Rights from Below offers valuable insights to academics, students, and professionals engaged in property law, development economics, and land governance. By providing a cross-disciplinary perspective, the book fosters a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding global property rights and encourages the development of innovative solutions to address these pressing challenges.
