Publications

Papers in Land Management series

Land management covers a wide range of academic and professional areas relating to land - law and public administration, land use planning, environmental protection, valuation and real estate, and history. This series aims to make available papers which may not suit more conventional academic publication. They may be work in progress, teaching material, reports of consultancy work, or conference papers. Some papers are of specific geographical interest (eg Anglia Ruskin's region, and the Balkans where the Law School has collaborated), or in particular thematic areas (eg environmental law, legal and planning history, and comparative land law). The series also aims to support the work of UN Habitat's Global Land Tools Network, to which the first two papers are relevant; they also set some common themes for the series.

Professor Robert Home is the series editor. For further details contact him at the above email address.
