Rurhe 05 Contexts of Property: The Social Embeddedness of Property Rights to Land in Europe in Historical Perspective: The Social Embeddedness of ... Perspective (Rural History in Europe, Band 5) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The essays in this book tap the potential of the historical analysis of social contexts in which property rights are embedded, social relations, power and agency, political institutions, culture, to understand how landed resources are actually appropriated. This exploratory approach seeks both to take advantage of the existing theory of property rights, as it is applied by the institutionalist outlook on economic history, and to go beyond it by explicitly incorporating social processes and factors in the analysis of property institutions. With this common aim in mind, the book covers a wide variety of historical cases throughout space and time, from the late Middle Ages in the Czech Lands and in Tuscany to the very recent decollectivization of the countryside in former Socialist countries.
