Murray J. Raff Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The concept of absolute private property has faced numerous challenges, particularly in light of ongoing environmental degradation that often disregards sustainable development. Throughout the twentieth century and beyond, legal property rights have been used by polluters to evade ecological responsibilities. Today, there is a consensus among jurists that land use must be managed sustainably across national boundaries. This book seeks to establish a principle of responsible proprietorship within existing legal frameworks rather than proposing radical changes. It advocates for the international recognition of responsible proprietorship, particularly through title registration systems derived from the German model, such as the Australian Torrens system. The author argues that this system provides a solid foundation for developing responsible environmental property law. Dr. Raff highlights the global trend of adopting the German model, which has gained traction in various regions and is supported by international agencies like the UN and World Bank. The book emphasizes the implicit responsibility of landowners tied to their property, linking the necessity for transparency in land transactions to broader environmental obligations. Through a comparative law approach, it explores how the principle of responsible proprietorship may also be identified in other land title systems, including those of France, Spain, and North America.
