Recenzje

'A timely collection from a diverse group of scholars, Property Rights and Neo-liberalism is thoughtfully edited to highlight the ideological dynamics of contemporary property rights movements. This is important scholarship which takes us where the action is.' John Brigham, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA 'Property Rights and Neoliberalism makes a tremendous contribution to our understanding of how property rights are increasingly contested and transformed through legal mobilizations and counter-mobilizations in national and transnational law. Each chapter is sensitive to power, contingency, and the crucial importance of popular legal consciousness in struggles over property rights. As such, the contributors illustrate the best of what law and society scholarship has to offer.' Tamir Moustafa, Simon Fraser University, Canada
