Title: Land Reform in Latin America: Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela
Abstract: This report reviews the experience with land reform in five countries of Latin America: Boliva, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. The report is largely based on an interpretation of preexisting literature and data but also encompasses the findings from a few previously unreported case studies carried out over the period 1973-75. The report provides a brief overview of the extent to which land reform measures have been implemented--the acreages and the number of beneficiaries involved--in each country. More importantly, the report distinguishes between land reforms which have occurred at different stages of agricultural development and under different pre-existing land tenure structures and types of post-reform organization. With typologies of this kind, it has been possible to make some preliminary judgments about the effects various land reform and associated policies might have for general agricultural development and income distribution in alternative environments.
