Land reform
Land reform (also known as agrarian reform) involves the changing of laws, regulations, or customs regarding land ownership, land use, and land transfers.[1][2] The reforms may be initiated by governments, by interested groups, or by revolution.[3]
Land reform is often considered a contentious process, as land is a key driver of a wide range of social, political and economic outcomes.[4][5] The structure and distribution of land rights has been linked to state formation, economic growth, inequality, political violence, and identity politics, making land reform highly consequential for the long-term structures of society.[4]
