Abstract

This pamphlet makes use of the most recent revisionist literature to reassess the view, much propagated by nationalist sources, that Ireland was a land of impoverished peasants oppressed by English laws and absentee English landlords.The land question has always been closely linked to the development of Irish national consciousness, and greatly exercised the minds of English politicians in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The author examines the nature of English understanding of Irish problems, which was often limited or ignorant, and attributes to it much of the unsound and in

Abstract

Die Bodenreform gehörte nach 1945 zu den wichtigsten Programmpunkten der Alliierten für eine demokratische Neugestaltung Deutschlands, und nicht allein in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone bildete die Bodenreform ein innenpolitisches Kernproblem. Günter J. Trittel hat für die britische Zone Entwicklung und Ergebnis der Auseinandersetzung zwischen der Besatzungsmacht einerseits und den widerstreitenden deutschen Parteien andererseits untersucht. Er weist nach, dass die gängige These, aufgrund des ökonomisch-politischen Übergewichts der USA sei die britische Besatzungspolitik weitgehend und frühzeitig den Absichten Washingtons gefolgt, jedenfalls für die Bodenreform nicht zutrifft. Obwohl in allen Ländern der britischen Zone bis Mitte 1949 eine Bodenreform gesetzlich geregelt war, wurden die Eigentumsverhältnisse in der Landwirtschaft kaum verändert. Die ursprünglich weitgehenden Reformpläne der Labour-Regierung in London waren damit gescheitert. Die Gründe dafür lagen jedoch nicht in einer Abhängigkeit der britischen Politik von Washington, maßgeblich waren vielmehr die wachsende Rücksichtnahme auf die wirtschaftliche Not in der britischen Zone, der Widerstand der deutschen Konservativen und nicht zuletzt der hemmende Einfluss der wenig reformfreudigen Militärregierung. Im Übrigen ergaben sich bemerkenswerte neue Aspekte zur Frühgeschichte der westdeutschen Parteien. Die Bodenreform gehörte nämlich zu den wichtigsten Themen der Jahre 1946/47, an deren Behandlung die Deutschen nicht nur mitwirken wollten, sondern sogar mitwirken sollten, erst beratend, dann bald in halber Selbständigkeit. So waren die Parteien gezwungen, in dieser wichtigen Frage schon früh Stellung zu beziehen und folgenreiche Vorentscheidungen zu treffen.

Abstract

"Gender equality is one of the ten core principles of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security. This guide aims to assist in its implementation through the achievement of responsible gender-equitable governance of land tenure. The guide focuses on equity and on how land tenure can be governed in ways that address the different needs and priorities of women and men. Gender-equitable governance of land tenure ensures that women and men can participate equally in their relationships to land, through both formal institutions and informal arrangements for land administration and management. The guide provides advice on mechanisms, strategies and actions that can be adopted to improve gender equity in the processes, institutions and activities of land tenure governance."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

"Do indigenous peoples have an unassailable right to the land they have worked and lived on, or are those rights conferred and protected only when a powerful political authority exists? In the tradition of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, who vigorously debated the thorny concept of property rights, Sara L. Maurer here looks at the question as it applied to British ideas about Irish nationalism in the nineteenth century. This book connects the Victorian novel's preoccupation with the landed estate to nineteenth-century debates about property, specifically as it played out in the English occupation of Ireland. Victorian writers were interested in the question of whether the Irish had rights to their land that could neither be bestowed nor taken away by England. In analyzing how these ideas were represented through a century of British and Irish fiction, journalism, and political theory, Maurer recovers the broad influence of Irish culture on the rest of the British isles. By focusing on the ownership of land, The Dispossessed State challenges current scholarly tendencies to talk about Victorian property solely as a commodity. Maurer brings together canonical British novelists - Maria Edgeworth, Anthony Trollope, George Moore, and George Meredith - with the writings of major British political theorists - John Stuart Mill, Henry Sumner Maine, and William Gladstone - to illustrate Ireland's central role in the literary imagination of Britain in the nineteenth century. The book addresses three key questions in Victorian studies - property, the state, and national identity - and will interest scholars of the period as well as those in Irish studies, postcolonial theory, and gender studies."--Project Muse.

Abstract

This new approach to Highland history before the Clearances draws attention to little-studied yet important economic and social processes within the Highland clan system and argues that we should consider the problems of traditional Highland society, economy and environment together. Exploring how the different aspects of the clan system - chiefs and kinsmen, landlords and tenants, farming systems, production strategies and marketing - changed between the 16th-18th centuries, it shows how the character and ideology of clans and chiefdoms are inextricably part of the twin problems of socio-political control and food production. Shifting the emphasis away from depictions of Highland society as lawless and disorganised, this is a welcome antidote to the many romanticised views of pre-Clearance society.Prize Winner!

Abstract

Colonial scholars have taken immense pleasure in portraying Africans as possessed by spirits but as lacking possession and ownership of their resources, including land. Erroneously deemed to be thoroughly spiritually possessed but lacking senses of material possession and ownership of resources, Africans have been consistently dispossessed and displaced from the era of enslavement, through colonialism, to the neocolonial era. Delving into the historiography of dispossession and displacement on the continent of Africa, and in particular in Zimbabwe, this book also tackles contemporary forms of dispossession and displacement manifesting in the ongoing transnational corporations land grabs in Africa, wherein African peasants continue to be dispossessed and displaced. Focusing on the topical issues around dispossession and repossession of land, and the attendant displacements in contemporary Zimbabwe, the book theorises displacements from a decolonial Pan-Africanist perspective and it also unpacks various forms of displacements -- corporeal, noncorporeal, cognitive, spiritual, genealogical and linguistic displacements, among others. The book is an excellent read for scholars from a variety of disciplines such as Geography, Sociology, Social Anthropology, History, Linguistics, Development Studies, Science and technology Studies, Jurisprudence and Social Theory, Law and Philosophy. The book also offers intellectual grit for policy makers and implementers, civil society organisations including activists as well as thinkers interested in decolonisation and transformation.

Abstract

Nothing is more important in English land law than 'possession'. It is the foundation of all title, rights and remedies. But what exactly is it, and why does it still matter? This book, first published in 2006, is about the meaning, significance and practical effect of the concept of possession in contemporary land law. It explains the different meanings of possession, the relationship between possession and title, and the ways in which the common law and equity do, and do not, protect possession. The rights and remedies of freeholders, tenants and mortgage lenders, between themselves and against third parties, are all to some extent dependent on questions of status and possession. This book shows how. It is designed to provide an understanding of the basic principles for the student, and answers to difficult, real problems for the practitioner.
