Preferred term

agrarian reform  

Definition(s)

  • Agrarian reform has been consigned repeatedly to the dustbin of history, yet it returns again and again in new forms, in different locations, and under different guises. While agrarian reform is often justly identified with land reform, it is important to recognize that land reform is but part of the broader phenomenon of agrarian reform, which includes changes not only in land holding but also in the vast array of institutions, laws, and practices that frame the political economy of any rural society.
