A property-owning democracy or an asset-based regime? Competing meanings of property and transformation of the social contract in a post-homeownership property regime

Cel

PropRegime investigates how the crisis of homeownership in Europe is reshaping property regimes and democratic contracts. Advanced democracies long promoted homeownership as a foundation of social cohesion and intergenerational security. After the 2008 financial crisis, this model destabilised: foreclosures dispossessed indebted households, younger cohorts were excluded from homeownership, and private rental markets expanded under corporate landlords. The result is a contradictory social formation where property-based inequalities intensify while political cleavages increasingly align with housing.

The project proposes to theorise the concept of property regime as the nexus of legal frameworks, market mechanisms, and normative discourses that organise access to housing and structure opportunities for social reproduction. Three research objectives guide the project: (1) mapping normative arguments in parliamentary debates on housing property, (2) analysing militant practices—both progressive and reactionary—that contest or defend property regimes, and (3) investigating how housing tenure shapes political orientations through a representative survey.

Methodologically, the project integrates discourse analysis, ethnography, and survey research, combining grounded theory with a critical-realist interpretative lens. It will be hosted at the Social and Political Theory Group (UPF), under the supervision of Prof. Mònica Clua-Losada, with a non-academic placement at IDRA, which will facilitate survey fieldwork and amplify societal impact.

The expected outcomes are three high-impact journal articles, a book proposal, a workshop and special issue on property regimes, training modules for tenants’ unions, and a policy report with IDRA. By linking housing studies to political theory, the project repositions housing property at the centre of debates on democracy, inequality, and social reproduction.
