Geoproperty: Foreign Affairs, National Security and Property Rights [Paperback]

Some innovations create new strategic property and new conflicts. Demarest argues that we have not reached the end of history and modern man will continue to fight over property as before, but the property will be of a post-modern character, such as electronic wavelengths and genetic codes.This book rediscovers property as a common denominator in human conflict, and as a useful tool for International Studies.Chapter 1 The Concert of Rights and Duties; Chapter 2 Sovereignty: Who Owns This Place, Anyway?; Chapter 3 Technology and the Modernity of Conflict; Chapter 4 Power and Proprietors; Chapter 5 Strategy, Access and Extortion; Chapter 6 Operational Law and Law Enforcement; Chapter 7 New Things, New Owners, New Rules;US? 1998 Geoff Demarest
