Este trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar que os proprietários da parte norte da Zona da Mata mineira também tiveram sua participação na construção do Estado nacional. A partir de um conjunto documental formado por inventários, testamentos, listas de eleitores, jornais de época e listas nominativas estudamos as bases econômicas e materiais de um grupo de fazendeiros nos meados do século XIX, avaliando concomitantemente sua participação política na configuração dos poderes provinciais e no âmbito mais amplo do Estado monárquico. O espaço geográfico escolhido foi uma parcela da zona da Mata norte, mais precisamente, a região que inclui as cidades de Barra Longa, Viçosa e Ponte Nova. O recorte temporal foi estabelecido entre 1821 e 1841. / This work tries to demonstrate that the landlords from the north side of the \"Zona da Mata Mineira\" had their share in the construction of the Brazilian National State. Their economic and political powers as well as their participation on politics are analyzed through data obtained from inventories, wills, lists of voters and census lists. The context is the region of Barra Longa, Viçosa and Ponte Nova in the period from 1821 to 1841.

Chaque année, près de 165 000 ménages locataires sont assignés au tribunal par leurspropriétaires dans d'une procédure d'expulsion pour dette locative, soit plus de 1% des ménagesrésidant dans le parc locatif de France métropolitaine. Fondée sur une enquête statistique etethnographique menée dans un département populaire de région parisienne, cette thèse restitue lesinégalités de trajectoire procédurale d'un échantillon de locataires en procédure d'expulsion, en lienavec l'activité des institutions publiques chargées de recouvrir leurs créances et d'administrer cecontentieux : commissions de travail social liées au droit au logement, tribunaux d'instance, bureaudes expulsions de la préfecture et commissariats de police. Elle met tout d'abord en lumière lesconditions et la rationalité économiques spécifiques qui conduisent un nombre important deménages populaires à suspendre le paiement du loyer plutôt que de recourir à d'autres circuitsd'endettement. La thèse analyse ensuite les dispositifs de recouvrement et les usages du droit quemobilisent les propriétaires afin de recouvrir et de sanctionner les créances locatives, et letraitement que réserve l'institution judiciaire à leurs demandes et aux locataires indisciplinés. Elleétudie enfin les logiques régaliennes de l'autorisation administrative et de l'exécution, par lesservices de l’État et les acteurs publics locaux, du concours de la force publique à l'encontre desménages condamnés par le tribunal et se refusant à quitter leur logement. En définitive, la thèseanalyse l'endettement locatif comme une transaction à crédit particulière, dont les dispositifs derecouvrement et de sanction coercitive font apparaître la violence légitime de l’État comme uneinstance nécessaire à la reproduction du marché du logement, de ses normes économiques commedes inégalités de statuts résidentiels qui le structurent. / Every year, nearly 165,000 indebted tenants are summoned to French housing courtsbecause of rent arrears. This number represents more than 1% of the renter households in thecountry. Based on an inquiry, both statistical and ethnographic, which we conducted in a destituedistrict in the Parisian suburbs, this dissertation sheds light on the unequal judicial trajectories of asample of indebted tenants facing a court summons, and analyzes the activity of the publicinstitutions in charge of collecting rent debts and carrying out eviction proceedings. The study firsthighlights the specific economic rationality which leads impoverished households to suspend thepayment of their rent rather than sacrifyng other domestic expenditures or taking out other types ofcredit. The dissertation then focuses on how landlords bring the dispute to court, and identifies thefactors of the judge's ruling in evictions cases. Thirdly, the research deals with the work of the localstate “eviction bureau” employees, who deliver legal authorizations to police eviction squads toexecute the court-orderedj physical removal of the defaulting renters who refuse to vacate thepremisses. By studying rent debts collection practices and legal eviction proceedings, thisdissertation shows how the State's legitimate violence, both physical and symbolic, enables thereproduction of the rental housing market.

This dissertation analyses the South African Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999 ("the RHA") with the aim of determining whether the RHA sufficiently protects the landlords‘ rights and interests as opposed to those of tenants (which it does indeed safeguard). Due to the current saturation of rental property in South Africa, landlords are no longer in an advantageous a position as before. In fact, the RHA was introduced to redress the imbalance caused by discrimination against tenants. However, times have changed. The researcher submits that the RHA needs to be re-examined in light perception of the landlord as a consumer. Having regard to both common and foreign law, the researcher identified the following four fundamental legal and practical rights on the part of the landlord: the right to freely contract; the right to safeguard financial interests; the right to safeguard proprietary interests; and the right to evict a defaulting tenant. The research reveals that the RHA does not give adequate recognition to these fundamental legal rights, and accordingly does not sufficiently protect the landlord as a consumer. In total nineteen recommendations how the RHA can adequately recognize and protect the landlord‘s interests are made.

This thesis develops the prioritization guidance and action guidance provided by Iris Marion Young’s Social Connection Model of responsibility for injustice. Young’s parameters of reasoning are limited in their ability to assist responsible agents in determining what they ought to do to fulfill their responsibilities, as they are severed from the structural analysis characteristic of the rest of the SCM. This thesis addresses the resulting limitations by developing categories of prioritization and an action guidance framework. I develop 6 categories of prioritization: power, benefit, interest, centrality, contribution, and control. Applied to social-group-based analysis, these categories determine the strength of the prioritization claim which a given injustice holds over a given social group. The action guidance framework takes the perspective of the political community and works its way through three questions and their corresponding considerations: “What can we do?” –structural change, altering practices, and harm alleviation; “How can we do it?” –understanding sub-issues and sub-options, determining interests, and organizing collectives; and “What can I do?” –eliminating contributory behaviours, and considering personal circumstances. Through this framework, agents can analyze the capacities of the political community and the structures of an injustice to determine which projects should be undertaken and how agents ought to contribute. Finally, the developments of this thesis are applied to the case of landlords and housing, therein establishing the necessity of landlords abandoning rental profits so as to fulfill and not contradict their responsibility to eliminate housing injustice. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA) / This thesis develops the prioritization guidance and action guidance provided by Iris Marion Young’s Social Connection Model of responsibility for injustice.

早期農業係臺灣社會經濟發展之基石，各相關農業政策皆以糧食增產為主要目標，後因後期臺灣經濟由農業為主漸漸轉向以工業為主，故在時代變遷下，過去多數文獻指出第一次農地改革強調以「所有權」為中心，成功達到農業生產增加目的，以及Arthur Young之名言「荒漠變花園」，認為「所有權」是激勵農民生產之誘因，在現今都市化擴張及工商業發展的社會背景下，是否仍為當前農地政策之主要思維？實有重新探討之必要。爰此，本研究為探討臺灣農地利用是否仍需存有「所有權」之迷思，嘗試釐清在時代變遷下，農民是否須擁有農地所有權才能激勵農民從事農地利用？或只要能保障農民之投入成本能於未來收益相符，即便是透過使用權方式承租農地亦能激勵農民從事利用？並期能透過財產權觀點分析現行農地利用政策，提供未來農地政策研擬修訂之重要參考依據。 基此，本研究首先整理過去相關文獻及政府統計資料，在此基礎上釐清過去涉及地權政策之農地改革變遷過程，以及臺灣農地利用現況問題，藉以建立後續分析架構。其次，針對宜蘭縣三星鄉農民進行問卷調查，以釐清農民在從事農作過程中，擁有農地所有權對農民之影響情形，並瞭解農民透過購買或承租方式擴大農場經營規模之考量為何。最後，為深入分析及探究問卷調查結果之背後影響因素，本研究再針對中央及地方政府機關行政人員進行訪談，據以進行綜合分析。透過此研究脈絡之探討，本研究獲得之重要發現與結論，茲分述如下。 一、本研究透過實證分析得知，農民擁有農地所有權雖會對農地利用有正面影響，但不必然會直接激勵農民從事農作，仍需視當時的社會制度下，何種行為能夠激勵農民達到行為目標（增加所得），即具有激勵效果。而農民擁有農地使用權，亦能提高從事農地利用意願、激勵努力從事農業生產及維護農地環境，惟因使用權具有期限，故相較於農民擁有農地所有權，在提高農地改良投資及對長期從事農作有幫助兩方面，較無法激勵農民。因此，本研究結論指出過去以所有權為中心之農地政策，因社會變遷結果，不必然須再以所有權為中心，亦能具有激勵農民從事農作生產之效果。 二、依據本研究分析及推論，第一次農地改革之成功，應不能僅歸於創設所有權，而是因為透過政策實施重新界定財產權範圍，並建置財產權之權利及義務關係，故使農民投入之成本與未來收益能相符，願意投入更多的勞力從事農作，進而激勵農民願意努力從事農業生產，而建立第一次農地改革成功基礎。以此觀點亦能說明，第二次農地改革後，即便農民擁有農地所有權，惟因從事農作收益不佳，農民投入之成本於未來並無法充分回收時，則會變相導致農民任其休耕、閒置、消極利用，或是觀望日後農地變更之增值。因此，所有權並非能直接激勵農民從事農地利用，即便農民係透過承租方式擴大農場經營規模，只要能保障農民投入成本能與未來獲得收益相符，皆可激勵農民努力從事農作。 三、經本研究調查發現，由於目前購買農地價格太高，且農民擁有農地所有權與使用權對農地利用激勵效果相似，因此在資金條件不足情況下，透過承租方式取得農地，可減輕農民在資金負擔方面的壓力，實為未來主要擴大農場經營規模之方式。而目前政府所推動之小地主大佃農政策，雖係以承租方式擴大農場經營規模，且施行迄今頗具績效，然其政策績效似有成長趨緩之趨勢，故本研究針對小地主大佃農政策績效成長趨緩之原因進行分析，發現主要因地主願意出租之農地多已經初步釋出、三七五減租政策之持續影響、農民健康保險資格影響農地整合活化、缺乏地緣關係難透過承租農地擴大農場經營規模及特殊農業經營傾向以購買農地擴大農場經營規模等五項原因，可能影響該政策績效有趨緩成長之勢。故本研究基於研究觀察及發現，據以研提五項政策修正建議，包括：1.由於農地多已初步釋出，故應開始從農地規模化轉而思考農地集中化，不再僅追求量的成長；2.透過農地管理中心整合目前委託經營、口頭租約、代耕之擴大農場經營規模方式，不僅以書面契約為必要條件；3.調整農民健康保險之資格條件，不必然以擁有或承租一定農地面積以上為審查必要條件；4.透過現有大佃農師徒學習或是參與學習方式，引領新農民獲得當地農村信任感，順利承租農地；5.獎勵地主及承租人雙方簽訂長期農地租賃契約，以刺激承租人規劃及思考更長期之農地利用等，可供作為政府機關未來進行相關政策修訂及調整之參考依據。
