Part I presents the private rented sector in Western and Northern European countries, the history of private renting under socialism in Central and Eastern Europe, and thematic issues such as restitution and marginalized groups depending on privately rented housing. Part II provides a series of country case studies from the Central and East European region. Part III concludes with chapters on the possibility of utilizing the private rental sector in affordable housing provision through good practices in both old and new EU member states, and sets out to further the housing policy debate on European housing regimes. This unique edited collection will be of great value to scholars of and practitioners involved in housing policyand economics, urban development, international relations, politics, economics and sociology.Human geographyEconomicsEuropePolitics and governmentSocial policyHuman GeographyPolitical Economy and Economic SystemsEuropean PoliticsSocial PolicyHuman geography.Economics.EuropePolitics and government.Social policy.Human Geography.Political Economy and Economic Systems.European Politics.Social Policy.304.2Hegedüs Józsefedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLux Martinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHorváth Veraedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300852603321Private Rental Housing in Transition Countries2093292UNINA
