Neo-Socialist Property Rights

The Predicament of Housing Ownership in China

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Neo-Socialist Property Rights studies urban dwellers' desire for housing ownership and how their acquiring and defending of property rights reshape the state-property-family relationality in neo-socialist China. This book links property rights practice to the broader human rights discourse as both a working hypothesis and a historical question.
