Problems of Post-Communism, 2002Co-Authors: Stephen K. Wegren, David J. O'brien, Valeri V. PatsiorkovskiAbstract:Rural women fared worse during Russian Agrarian Reform; and they are more economically conservative. But economic conservatism does not translate into political conservatism, as women support conservative parties and candidates less than men do.

winners and losers in russian Agrarian Reform
The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2002Co-Authors: Stephen K. Wegren, David J Obrien, Valeri V. PatsiorkovskiAbstract:More than ten years after Russian Agrarian Reform was begun, it is appropriate to reflect upon winners and losers. Using survey data from 800 households in five Russian regions, this article is interested in the effect of Reform within the rural sphere. The analysis focuses on four groups of rural actors within the food production sphere: private farmers, farm managers, specialists employed on state and collective farms and their juridical successors, and farm workers employed on state and collective farms and their juridical successors The first part of the article examines winners and losers using the following variables: self-perceptions about winners and losers, monthly household income, job security, and ownership of certain durable goods. We conclude that private farmers have fared best relative to other occupational groups. On large farms, managers have fared best. The second part of the article analyses why winners win by considering structural and behavioural factors. We conclude that winners win...

market led Agrarian Reform policies performance and prospects
Third World Quarterly, 2007Co-Authors: Edward Lahiff, Saturnino M BorrasAbstract:Abstract Market-led Agrarian Reform ( mlar ) has gained prominence worldwide since the early 1990s as an alternative to the state-led approaches widely implemented over the course of the 20th century. This neoliberal policy framework advocates voluntary transactions between ‘willing sellers’ and ‘willing buyers’ and the removal of various ‘distortions’ from land and agricultural markets. Related policies aim to secure and formalise private property rights. Emerging evidence from across the developing world suggests that such policies are incapable of challenging the political and economic power of large landowners and are unlikely to meet the land needs of the rural poor and landless. In key areas such as land transfer, farmer development and programme financing, mlar is shown to be falling far short of its objectives. Meanwhile, it is being actively challenged by national and international peasant movements that are calling for more direct intervention by the state in order to restructure patterns of lan...

questioning market led Agrarian Reform experiences from brazil colombia and south africa
Journal of Agrarian Change, 2003Co-Authors: Saturnino M BorrasAbstract:Market-led Agrarian Reform (MLAR) has been conceptualized out of the pro-market critique of classic state-led Agrarian Reform. The pro-market model has been implemented in Brazil, Colombia and South Africa, where its proponents have claimed impressive success. But close examination of the empirical evidence puts into question the basic theoretical and policy assumptions and current claims of MLAR proponents. The same model is no more likely to work elsewhere.

Agrarian Reform and south africa s agro food system
The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Stephen GreenbergAbstract:The dominant corporate structure of South Africa's agro-food system has led many to suggest there is limited value in redistributing land as a scarce economic resource, or in providing support to black small-scale farmers when large agribusinesses are capable of meeting food needs. Agrarian Reform (land Reform plus black small-scale farmer support) is not a necessary component of the existing economic system in South Africa. Yet it has tremendous political importance, especially in the context of a stagnant or declining job market. After considering the development of the corporate agro-food system in South Africa, and its impact on Agrarian Reform, this paper concludes that Agrarian Reform as a political project and a vision retains the potential to contribute not only to a more just society, but also to progressive economic transformation.

women s land rights and rural social movements in the brazilian Agrarian Reform
Journal of Agrarian Change, 2003Co-Authors: Carmen Diana DeereAbstract:This article examines the evolution of the demand for women's land rights in the Brazilian Agrarian Reform through the prism of the three main rural social movements: the landless movement, the rural unions and the autonomous rural women's movement. Most of the credit for raising the issue of women's land rights rests with women within the rural unions. That women's formal land rights were attained in the constitutional Reform of 1988 was largely a by–product of the effort to end discrimination against women in all it dimensions. The achievement of formal equality in land rights, nonetheless, did not lead to increases in the share of female beneficiaries of the Reform, which remained low in the mid–1990s. This was largely because securing women's land rights in practice was not a top priority of any of the rural social movements. Moreover, the main social movement determining the pace of the Agrarian Reform, the landless movement, considered class and gender issues to be incompatible. By the late 1990s, nonetheless, there was growing awareness that failure to recognize women's land rights was prejudicial to the development and consolidation of the Agrarian Reform settlements and thus the movement. The growing consensus among all the rural social movements of the importance of securing women's land rights, coupled with effective lobbying, encouraged the State in 2001 to adopt specific mechanisms for the inclusion of women in the Agrarian Reform.
