Description

On October 1, 2012, Professor Boudewijn Bouckaert was admitted to emeritus status. This is a great opportunity to pay tribute to the celebrated one and to thank him for the enthusiasm and inspiration with which he has inspired us over many years. This liber amicorum, with almost thirty contributions on various themes, is a reflection of the intellectual depth and versatility of the celebrated oeuvre. Boudewijn Bouckaert studied law and philosophy at Ghent University. In 1971 he obtained his doctorate in law and his candidacy in philosophy at the University of Ghent. He subsequently became an assistant at the General Legal Theory Seminar with Prof. Dr. Willy Calewaert. In 1981 he obtained the Higher Education aggregate with a thesis on the Exegetical School. In 1982 he was appointed lecturer and in 1991 full professor. His academic career can certainly be described as impressive. He is the author of more than twenty books and many more articles. His research is mainly focused on legal theory, the economic analysis of property rights and spatial planning. His contributions have clearly left their mark on the development in these areas.
