"Proceedings of an international colloquium 'Property Law on the Threshold of the 21st Century, ' 28-30 August 1995, Maastricht.

Real-life stories and solid legal analysis combine to show why property rights are the "cornerstone of liberty," how they are protected in the U.S. Constitution, and how the Supreme Court's Kelo v. New London case has impacted them.

Bringing together a diverse array of property law specialists, this timely Research Agenda explores the theoretical and doctrinal dimensions of the main subareas of property law. It examines the current tensions between the protection of existing property interests and the need to tackle societal challenges, such as digitalisation, the creation of energy communities, and the climate crisis.

International law increasingly creates, harmonizes, and restricts property rights, thereby superseding national law. This book examines this emerging regime of international property law. Looking at the intersection between international law and private property, the work argues that a global right to property should be recognized.

For those embarking on or engaged in property law research, this is a unique resource which includes contributions from twelve international scholars who each analyse a different research approach, addressing its value, associated methodology and the challenges involved in pursuing it.
