Publisher's Synopsis
Bringing together global experts in the field, this Research Handbook presents an overview of recent developments in property law in European jurisdictions and in European Union law. It analyses the ways in which these frameworks adapt to modern challenges such as climate change, digitalisation, an ageing population and the effects of pandemics.
The Research Handbook on European Property Law provides a forward-thinking and topical examination of the field, critically dissecting its foundations as well as its parameters. Chapters explore topics such as sustainable and circular property law; globalisation; ownership as a source of social obligations; sharing property among generations; the rise of the data economy; and the need for a workable interface between European Union law and national property law. Contributing authors crucially highlight how analysis of property law has become part of mainstream comparative law narratives.
This Research Handbook is an important resource for students and academics in European law and property law. Practitioners interested in how global developments have an impact on rethinking basic property law notions will also find it a thought-provoking read.
