A new book edited by Dr Thanos Zartaloudis draws together a collection of essays honouring and engaging with the work of the late Professor Patrick McAuslan.
Land Law and Urban Policy in Context: Essays on the Contributions of Patrick McAuslan (published by Routledge) is a collection that narrates, analyses and critiques McAuslan’s contributions, as well as offering substantive perspectives on how his work has impacted the legal fields in which he was involved: including those of land law, urban planning law and policy, land use and participation in developing countries, democratic constitutionalism, and legal education.
The essays present McAuslan’s contributions in the contexts in which they emerged, and according to both the circumstances and motivations that shaped them, as well as the challenges they encountered. It thus provides an ideal point of engagement for scholars, students and policy makers that have already interacted with McAuslan’s ideas and work, or who have yet to do so.
