Routledge Property Rights in Land - Economic and Social History

Expand your academic understanding of property rights with this comprehensive volume from Routledge. Part of the Perspectives in Economic and Social History series, this book examines property rights through the lenses of sociology and social history. It moves beyond mainstream theories of new institutional economics to provide a broader view of economic development. As neo-institutional development theory becomes a central narrative in global history and political economy, this text addresses the practical challenges of promoting global development. It investigates the difficulties of creating the necessary conditions for good institutions to take root within the global economy and developing societies. Written by a collection of expert authors, the chapters provide deep insights into the social processes that shape land ownership and institutional growth. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the intersection of social history, political economy, and global development.
