Property Law Reform, Sustainability and the Commons
Book | 1st edition 2024 | Europe, United Kingdom | Vincent Sagaert, Dorothy Gruyaert, Marie-Laure Degroote, Kato De Schepper, Vincent Janssen, Flore VavourakisThis book is the outcome of the international conference ‘Property law reform, sustainability and the commons’, which was hosted by the Institute for Property Law at the Faculty of Law and Criminology of KU Leuven in March 2023. The occasion of this conference was the holistic and innovative Belgian property law reform, which is part of the larger establishment of a brand new Belgian Civil Code. The goal of the conference, and hence of the book, was to engage with (both junior and more senior) property law experts from different legal systems to critically assess this Belgian property law reform from an international perspective by comparing it to other, recent and not so recent, property law reforms.

Re-Member
Rehabilitation, Reintegration and Reconciliation of War-Affected ChildrenBook | 1st edition 2012 | World | Ilse Derluyn, Cindy Mels, Stephan Parmentier, Wouter VandenholeThe recruitment and operations of child soldiers have been hitting the headlines in politics and the media for many years. However, a much broader circle of children is affected by armed conflicts. Hence, the many challenges to deal with youth affected by armed conflict exceed by far the issue of the recruitment and demobilisation of child soldiers, but also extend to questions of rehabilitation, reintegration and reconciliation processes of all children and youths. This book brings together for the first time a wide range of leading scholars from three disciplinary perspectives (children’s rights, psychosocial studies and transitional justice) and aims at enhancing a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the rehabilitation, reintegration and reconciliation processes of children and adolescents affected by armed conflict. -
