Contents:
Introduction : squatters, scale, and the state -- States, narratives, and norms -- Squatting and the law -- Property theory and the state chapter four scaling the state -- Resilient property methodology -- Possession, pragmatism, and homeless squatting -- Ownership and absent owners -- Aggregate interests -- Neighborhoods, markets, and social movements -- Scaling resilience and the state -- Postscript : resilient property and the pandemic.
Summary: Squatting and the State offers a new theoretical and methodological approach for analyzing state response to squatting, homelessness, empty land, and housing. Embedded in local, national, and transnational contexts, and reaching beyond conventional property theories, this important work sets out a fresh analytical paradigm for understanding the deep, interlocking problems facing not just the traditional 'victims' of narratives about homelessness and squatting but also a variety of other participants in these conflicts. Against the backdrop of economic, social, and political crises, Squatting and the State offers readers important insights about the changing natures of property, investment, housing, communities, and the multi-level state, and describes the implications of these changes for how we think and talk about property in law.
