<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A stimulating review of contemporary land reform in Scotland<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This interdisciplinary analysis of Scotland's perennial political hot potato - the Scottish land question - follows the latest legislative development, The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016. Bringing together leading academics and professional experts working in law, history and policy, Land Reform in Scotland delves into issues from the early modern period to present day. Individual chapters discuss some areas such as property theory and human rights which have been under-studied in relation to land reform. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>A stimulating rethink of contemporary land reform in Scotland from historical, legal, and socio-economic perspectives Land reform is as topical as ever in Scotland. Following the latest legislative development, the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016, there is a need for a comprehensive and comprehensible analysis of the history, developing framework and impact of Scottish land reform. Scholarly yet jargon-free, this landmark volume brings together leading researchers and commentators working in law, history and policy to analyse the past, present and future of Scottish land reform. It covers how Scotland's land is regulated, used and managed; why and how this has come to pass; and makes some suggestions as to the future of land reform. Key features: - Offers a holistic approach to land reform in Scotland; - Draws on case studies of land policies in the UK, mainland Europe and the USA to allow comparison and contextualisation of Scottish land reform with other models; - Examines the significance of right to property on the land reform process, and looks at how it is now being used as an impetus for economic and social rights reform; - Designed to suit individual academic specialisms, while still being accessible to readers across disciplines and professions.
