Dear List members, We have thepleasure to announce the publication of our book When Things Become Property: land Reform, Authority and Value inPostsocialist Europe and Asia by Berghahn Books (New York and Oxford). Brief info: Governments haveconferred ownership titles to many citizens throughout the world in an effortto turn things into property. Almost all elements of nature have become thetarget of property laws, from the classic preoccupation with land to moreephemeral material, such as air and genetic resources. When Things Become Property interrogates the mixed outcomes of conferringownership by examining postsocialist land and forest reforms in Albania,Romania and Vietnam, and finds that property reforms are no longer, if theyever were, miracle tools available to governments for refashioning economies,politics or environments. For the next two months the publisheroffers limited time 25% discount onthe paperback edition. Code SIK587 can be used when an order is placedvia book webpage. Simply enter code at checkout.
