The access to land in Brazil: land reform and regularization

Abstract

The research in which this article is based on aimed to analyze land reform and regularization policies in Brazil. The period considered for the research covers the last 15 years (2005-2020), a time lapse able to evidence the continuities, discontinuities, and relationships amidst those policies. In this regard, the document-oriented methodology presented itself as the most accurate for this purpose since it allows the evaluation of data and legislation on the subject. As a result, it was understood that in Brazil there is a remarkable relationship between the processes of land reform and regularization: while the land regularization is preferred, any land reform policy is depreciated.
