This book presents an international comparison of legal responses to the issue of vacant housing in Japan, the USA, France and Germany. While vacant housing is a shared problem in these four countries, the origin and context of the problem, as well as the focus of legal responses, differ considerably. Presenting the outcomes of an international symposium, this book explores different legal approaches (private/public law, federal/national/municipal governments, demolition/expropriation/requisition/planning) taken in the respective jurisdictions. It is highly recommended to readers whose work involves practical issues concerning vacant housing and who are interested in theoretical aspects of property law, building law and administrative law. The book also includes a chapter exploring the implications of the “tragedy of the commons/anticommons” for contemporary land use issues in Japan such as landscape protection, area management and unclaimed land.
Romain Rolland was an early twentieth century French novelist, dramatist and essayist. Throughout his life he was a fervent idealist, deeply involved with pacifism, the fight against fascism, the search for world peace and the analysis of artistic genius, which was a recurring theme of his works. In 1915 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature as “a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings”.

Lucien est pianiste de jazz. Il est aveugle. Un soir, il rencontre Sophie, une architecte qui plane dans l'air du temps. Avec elle, sortant de sa nuit presque noire, guidé par cette main rassurante dans les tourbillons colorés de la société de l'image, il entrevoit bientôt un avenir. Mais, un jour, Sophie ressent le besoin de voyager. Voir du pays? Lucien résiste, lui le détracteur du tourisme de masse, du fun et des charters, lui le casanier qui ne voyage d'ordinaire que par la musique ou les mots. Il accepte pourtant de la suivre pour un trek au Maroc... Look : une histoire de voyage et de solitude, de clairvoyance et d'aveuglements, d'harmonies et de dissonances amoureuses.
