Additional text
’The themes of land reform and sustainable development are rarely combined in academic literature...This edited work is thus welcome as it brings together in one single volume a large variety of articles about both themes and many that explore the relationship between environmental sustainability and land reform...this volume deserves to be praised for providing papers which address practical issues often ignored in academic debates and, at the same time, making their relevance clear to any wide ranging discussions. For these and other reasons, it will certainly be of interest to both academics and practitioners concerned with the practical difficulties of land reform in Europe and the inclusion of sustainability considerations in land management.’ Environmental Politics
