Establishment Fund, Population Increase And Changing Class Structures In Central Luzon

Abstract: Using the notion of an "establishment fund," the author describes the processes that account for stratification within peasant communities, and the role population increase has played in generating new classes. The newest and fastest growing of these classes comprise the landless laborers of town and country - a group which do not possess an establishment fund in the form of a stock of productive capital or regular wage labor in the primary or secondary sectors of the economy. Revolutionary, reformist, or counter-insurgency programs that concentrate on the issue of tenancy are irrelevant to this class.

Land reform and conflict before the Civil War: landowner response to tenancy reform in 1930s Catalonia

Abstract: This article studies the impact of insecure property rights on the behaviour of owners of land before the Spanish Civil War. The theoretical literature on land reform argues that legal threats to the status quo determine agrarian organization, with owners selling land and moving to other asset classes or engaging in large‐scale substitution of sharecroppers and tenants with wage labourers. This study, which uses municipal data on tenant evictions in Catalonia in 1934–5, does not find that uncertainty over property rights in the 1930s meant that owners tried to substitute tenants with wage labourers, especially in the case of the controversial rabassa morta contracts on vineyards. Here it is argued that after 40 years of organizational adjustment to shocks related to phylloxera infestations, legal changes, urbanization, and changes in relative prices, by the 1930s the margin for adjustment was small.

11. Agrarian transformations and land reform in Indonesia

Abstract: The total number of Indonesian households involved in farming to support at least part of their livelihoods is substantial, and poverty rates have persistently been higher in rural than in urban areas. As a result, improved access to agricultural land is widely held to be essential to achieve poverty alleviation. Farm fragmentation is also believed to be widespread, contributing to ever-decreasing farm sizes that lock near-landless, marginal farm households ( petani gurem ) into a vicious poverty trap. This is the standard narrative supporting the necessity for a broad-ranging land reform program to ensure improved access to agricultural land for petani gurem and landless farmers. This chapter assesses the relationship between the land reform movement and contemporary agrarian transformations in Indonesia—that is, the changing role of agriculture and land in livelihood strategies. In light of these transformations, I examine the discursive, political and structural challenges affecting the capacity of President Joko Widodo's land reform program to support rural poverty alleviation in Indonesia. The terms ‘land reform’ and ‘agrarian reform’ are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are differences between them. Land reform refers specifically to a change in the social institutions surrounding land ownership or access. Lipton (2009: 1) presents land reform as ‘laws with the main goal of reducing poverty by substantially increasing the proportion of farmland controlled by the poor, and thereby their income, power or status’. Agrarian reform refers to a much broader ‘multi-disciplined set of interrelated aims and means capable of combating the ills of the [unequal] agrarian structure’ (Cohen 1978: 1). The means of achieving agrarian reform usually encompass some kind of redistributive land reform in addition to interventions such as improved agricultural extension, credit availability, trade policies, pricing, and tenancy and wage regulations. In Indonesia (somewhat confusingly), the terms ‘agrarian renewal’ ( pembaruan agraria ) and ‘agrarian reform’ ( reforma agraria ) are in fact closely associated with land reform, and are widely used to suggest a progressive land agenda. Pembaruan agraria is legally defined (in MPR Decree IX/MPR/2001) as ‘a sustained process of restructuring the control, ownership and exploitation of agrarian resources, undertaken to attain justice, prosperity, legal protection and certainty for all Indonesian people’. Opportunities for the active participation of a resurgent peasant-based agrarian movement have emerged in post-authoritarian Indonesia.
