This book is an important contribution to the literature on international property law. Through meticulous scrutiny of the CEDAW property jurisprudence, it transforms constructions of women's property rights. Exhaustively researched and cogently reasoned, it confounds the critics from the left and right, feminist and otherwise. This book provocatively juxtaposes women's property rights under CEDAW with foreign investors' property regimes and human rights treaties. The analysis illuminates legal research and policy paths forward including toward comparative international property law. In reading this study, you will learn how human rights, property law, family law, social benefits law, foreign investment law, and international institutions interact and could interact more productively to ensure women's equal access to the various components of landed, material and other legal forms of property.
