Biografisk notat
Edited by Ernst Nordtveit, Professor (em.) of Law, Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, Norway<i>‘Where is property headed, as a concept and an institution? The Changing Role of Property Law offers a wealth of illuminating perspectives on property’s trajectory, from historical evolutions to new innovations. This fascinating book reveals the complex dynamism at the heart of a field often typecast as inertial.’</i>
- Lee Fennell, University of Chicago Law School, US,
Featuring contributions from top international scholars in the field, chapters explain the variety of property rights found in most legal systems and how these develop in relation to social needs and available resources. The book discusses the current transition of property from mainly physical objects to intangible values in the form of, for example, intellectual property rights, and the impacts this is having on the law, democracy and free speech. Other prominent issues tackled by the book include the organisation of registries for property rights, models for managing public property and the influence of new property forms on family and inheritance law.
An essential read for scholars and students of property law, including intellectual property, the book will also be of interest to those working in family law, law and technology and commercial law whose research intersects with property rights.
