Property concerns conflicts – both conflicts between individuals and conflicts of interest. Conflicts between individuals have long been the paradigmatic property focus. According to this view, property debates circle around issues of autonomy and productive competition. But this is an impoverished view. In this Article, we shift attention to conflicts of interest. By helping people manage conflicts of interest, a well-governed property system balances interdependence with autonomy and productive cooperation with productive competition. We identify three mechanisms woven throughout property law that help manage conflicts of interest: (1) internalization of externalities; (2) democratization of management; and (3) de-escalation of transactions. We show that property law predictably selects among these mechanisms depending on the ratio of economic to social benefits that people seek from a group resource. When economic concerns predominate, property law typically uses contribution-based allocations of rights and responsibilities mediated by formal, foreground procedures, while at the social end of the spectrum we tend to see more egalitarian substantive rules operating as an informal, background safety net.

A review essay on books by (1) Bill Maurer [Ed] & Gabriele Schwab [Ed], Accelerting Possession: Global Futures of Property and Personhood (New York: Columbia University Press, 2006) & (2) Erik J. Olsen, Civic Republicanism and the Properties of Democracy: A Case Study of Post-Socialist Political Theory (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2006).

Alongside environmental degradation, the globally unequal distribution of wealth is one of the key political problems of our age. The third volume of 'Just Property' provides an account of how we might re-think how property works for us (collectively) and what we might do to fix the problems that we all face.

""Property Development"" includes such considerations as the objectives, functions, roles and methods of operation of all those involved in the development process, the financial aspects of development, social considerations, planning matters, and others, providing readers with the opportunity to develop their understanding of and their expertise in, the subject.

"Property theory spans a wide range of overlapping issues, including addressing private ownership's moral justification, its core features and scope as a matter of private law, and its status as a matter of public law, often without distinguishing sharply between the applicability of the concepts and arguments developed at the level of theory in these various contexts"

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the thought patterns of authorized property appraisers (APAs) when valuing commercial properties, and draw conclusions about their collective thinking in terms of content, complexity, and homogeneity.Design/methodology/approach– A standard set of value-adding factors and bipolar constructs was included in a grid form used for data collection. The repertory grid technique and principal component analysis were used to map and analyze the thought patterns of nearly half of the APAs in Sweden.Findings– Analysis of the mean grid for all respondents revealed three dimensions in the aggregated APA thought pattern: property object – property market focus, abstract – specific information, and expert – superficial assessments. The aggregated thought pattern was found to be moderately complex, and the APAs demonstrated relatively strong homogeneity in their thought patterns.Practical implications– Based on the moderate complexity and relatively strong homogeneity in respondent thought patterns, this study discusses the upcoming establishment of a profession.Originality/value– To the authors' best knowledge, this is the first study using the repertory grid technique to map and analyze APA thought patterns at an aggregated level.
