It appears as a historically determined form of social relations that arises in connection with the appropriation and possession of material goods. Since its inception, it has been the subject of fierce battles, but also the subject of a person's greatest factual and legal protection. However, property is not only a legal concept, but also an economic, social, ethical, and even a religious concept. The development of the institute of property is interwoven with turbulent changes, which reflect the direction of societal development and evolve in accordance with its needs. For this reason, the institute of property rights is the most suitable legal institute, through which social relations in different periods of society's development are viewed. Therefore, in this paper we will analyze the institution of the right of ownership across several historical periods: Roman law, the era of feudalism, the bourgeois revolutions, as well as the modern age. APSTRAKT: Institut prava svojine predstavlja jedan od najstarijih pravnih instituta. Pojavljuje kao istorijski određena forma društvenih odnosa koja nastaje u vezi sa prisvajanjem i posedovanjem materijalnih dobara. Od svog nastanka predstavljala je predmet žestokih borbi, ali i objekat najveće čovekove faktičke i pravne zaštite. Ipak svojina ne predstavlja samo pravni, nego i ekonomski, socijalni, etički, pa i religiozni pojam. Razvoj instituta svojine je protkan burnim promenama, koji možemo reći, odslikava i pravac razvoja društva i koji evoluira u skladu sa potrebama društva. Iz tog razloga institut prava svojine predstavlja najpogodniji pravni institut, kroz koji se sagledavaju društveni odnosi u različitim periodima razvoja društva. Stoga ćemo u okviru ovog rada analizirati institut prava svojine kroz određene istorijske epohe, odnosno rimsko pravo, doba feudalizma, buržoaskih revolucija, kao i osvrt na moderno doba. https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:8998 doi:10.5937/ptp2504153R ISSN: 0351-3713 Rajaković Jovčić, Vesna Kovačević, Danijela Rajaković Mijailović, Jasmina Keywords: institute of property rights, property, Roman law, feudalism, Middle Ages, capitalism.
