Produktbeschreibung

This book explores an important set of legal and policy issues surrounding the concepts of home and homelessness, taking this growing area of legal scholarship into the new arena of human rights and international law. The contributors, experts from across the fields of law, policy, and housing rights, examine the circumstances in which displacement and dispossession take place, and reconsider how law and policy respond to such circumstances.
