Ownership Paradigms in American Civil Law Jurisdictions ― Manifestations of the Shifts in the Legislation of Louisiana, Chile, and Argentina 16th-20th Centuries

This history of legislation regulating ownership in North and South America focuses on three places (Louisiana, Chile, and Argentina) in three different time periods. The book’s introduction explains the value of comparative legal history for American civil law jurisdictions. The three cases represent three ownership frameworks: the allocation paradigm, the liberal paradigm, and the social function paradigm of ownership in American civil law jurisdictions.
