That race tonight :is, .1belng lost . .. The.time for concerted action is here and. we must get 'on with the job." Complementing this statement, Dr. Herbert..J..!Waters, AssistantAdministrator for the War on Hunger, U.S. Agency for International Development, has asserted, "There, is no .simple or easy solution. We know from experience .ino"ur own country the complexities of modernizing agriculture.. ;It took us a span of almost a century. There is not that much time to spare 'in'getting the job done in the rest of the world. The challenge Is to speed up this modernization process--iWhatever it takesto get it done.'" This sense of urgency hasripervaded all Informed.discus­ ,sIon of the world food problem during 1do67. The research of ,the Land Tenure Center has beendesigned to assist in this effort In several of the Latin American republics' for,; as~a recent University of Wisconsin report on international pro­ grams claimed, "A great University cannot stand apart from one of the major efforts of its time." The overriding concern of the staff and fellows of the. Land.Tenure Center--a concern which has emerged froin research to date--is.t.hat. the issues of increasing agricultural produc­ tion, and'the distributIon of the fruIts of that production must be viewed as parts of the same problem. The Alliance for Pro­ gress or any U.S. policy-must not cope with one of these issues to the exclusion of the other. There.,has been some evidence, throughout 1967., that:-the policy goal of increasing marketable surplus from farms'inLat.In America has gained such pre-eminence that the Issue of! . distribution has tended to be shortchanged in U.S. policy. Yet, _ ample-evidence shows that how increased production is appor­ tioned In Latin America and elsewhere in the world is crucial,. -.,The President's Science Advisory Committee has claimed, .heworld's Increasingly serious nutritional problem arises from the uneven distribution of the food supply among countries, r'1W!.thncountrjes, and among families with different levels of jncome. Globa..statistical. surveys, based upon total food pro­ duced per person, suggest that there Is no world-wide shortage of .food:|n terms of quantlty (calories) or quality (protein) ,at 'the moment.". Thl.s,seems to reaffirm President Kennedy's statement, " .. o unless soclai'reforms are freely made,unless the great mass of Americans share In increasing productivity-­ then our Alliance, our revolution. and our dream will have fa I led;" Most of, Latin America is still characterized,by extreme, concentration of. landownership.. The majority of.-active agri­ cultural population--wage workers, small owners, sharecroppers-­ either have no land or too little to support their families. A .development policy which holds out Incentives only to owners .of large farms does little to enhance the economic participation of the Latin American peasant. Because of structural rigiditles, Itdoes not permit the campesino to play a more effective part in production. It does not protect him from the disparities:and disequilibria that come with change. The gap between the rich and poor In Latin America widens each year. This situation places severe strains on existing, rural Institutions as disadvantaged groups demand change, Policy makers must know what is happening when peasants move from subsistence to market participation,-as their problems are arti­ culated by political leadersy and as they demand a larger share of the country's Income. Public development agencies must know which methods are successful with different strata of farmers and what responses to expect. They must devise programs for small owners who are relatively neglected. They need to know how uneven participation in development affects demand. -Does It stimulate imports or domestic production? Does .i-t deterr.mine the kinds of products demanded? Does it circumscribe the proportion of total population participating in development? The development.planner must know how the rural working 'class lives and how rural people affect and are affected by the "forces for change. And from"islands of change"--or from coun­ tries which have:radically changed their land tenure structure-­ lessons must be drawn which will help policy makers to.deal in­ telligently with future broader reforms. or modify current re­ ."fdrms In such a way as to enhance the productive capacity of aqriculture.

SUMMARY OF LAND TENURE CENTER RESEARCH SUMIMARY OF LAND TENURE CENTER RESEARC:; The research program of the Land Tenure Center focuses upon social structure and institutional change and the ir.,pact of government programs on rural communities of Latin America. Vast changes are occurring within Latin American socie­ ties. Rapid population growth and mirnration to cities are general in all countries. Less widespread but locally import­ ant are colonization of new areas, introduction of new agri­ cultural technology and programs of land reform. These changes give rise to unrest and new attitudes and expectations to which governr.,ents must respond. Pro,,rar;s of agricultural devel­ opn.ent become more than questions of technical research, SL!pply of inputs and price incentives; governments face developient­ createJ d-islocations in the amount of agricultural employment and the terms on which it is available. They must try to re­ solve the question "Uho has access to the benefits of develop­ ment?'" In consequence, development pro-rans have to be devised so that they can reach different types of rural people. In some.O cases this d;evelopmient effort calls for some direct Sovernment intervention to change the land tenLre system. Issues of land tenure reform arise in contexts that differ from country to :country and from one time period to another. Rarely is the q.estion one of implementing an ideal land tenure system. Conditions for a controlled, wholesale transformation of a tenure system can be estaW isheJ only by a violent disruption of tie existing social structure and elimination of vested interests, comibined with total itarian control by a smal l, unified new group in power. These condi­ tions almost never exist. In real life, unrest or revolution may result in occupation of land bN, the peasants, with govern­ ments exercising only lirited control over the course of events. In less revolutionary situations, pressures for land tenure reform compete with cross pressures from other politically effective groups, and policy decisions are constrained by a diversity of group interests and by the financial capacities of the country. In addition, land tenure systems are subject to continuous change whether or not they are being modified

  • The Great Chilean Recovery: Assigning Responsibility for the Chilean Miracle(S)
    ABSTRACT THE GREAT CHILEAN RECOVERY: ASSIGNING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHILEAN MIRACLE(S) September 11, 1973, a day etched in the memory of Chilean history, marked the abrupt end to the socialist government of Salvador Allende, via a military coup led by the General of the Army, Augusto Pinochet. Although condemned by many for what they consider the destruction of Chile’s democratic tradition, the administrative appointments made and decisions taken by Pinochet and his advisors established policies necessary for social changes and reversed economic downward trends, a phenomenon known as the “Chilean Miracle.” Pinochet, with the assistance of his economic advisors, known as the “Chicago Boys,” established Latin America's first neoliberal regime, emphasizing that a free-market, not the government, should regulate the economy. Examining the processes through which Pinochet formed his team of economic advisors, my research focuses on the transformations wrought by the Chicago Boys on the economic landscape of Chile. These changes have assured that twenty-four years after Pinochet’s rule, the Chilean economy remains a model for Latin American nations. In particular, this examination seeks to answer the following question: Who was responsible for the “Chilean Miracle”?

LATIN-AMERICAN LAND REFORM: THE USES OF CONFISCATION Kenneth L. Karst* N Latin America, every land reform is motivated principally by I political demands for equality, for the redistribution of wealth and income. The statement is true even in those countries where the governments are hostile to the idea of redistribution. Palliatives that exploit the ambiguity of the word "reform" in such countries are aimed at appeasement of the demand for sharing the wealth. Landless peasants and landowners understand perfectly well; yet, many technicians and students of land reform continue to speak a different language, a language in which land reform means anything from agricultural rent control to the introduction of hybrid corn.1 In part, talk of this kind is the product of sophistication.

  • The Chilean Land Reform: a Laboratory for Alliance-For-Progress Techniques
    NOTES AND COMMENTS THE CHILEAN LAND REFORM: A LABORATORY FOR ALLIANCE-FOR-PROGRESS TECHNIQUES SocIAL critics have recently been centering their fire upon the Alliance for Progress for its failure to induce broad-scale enactment of social and economic reforms by Latin American member countries.1 Advocates of fiscal and tax reform denounce the lethargic manner in which changes in the budgetary schemes of participating countries are taking place. Students of urban problems urge speedier action in the construction of low-income, govern- ment-backed housing.2 And the friend of the agricultural laborer looks to land 1. Discussion and evaluation of the Alliance program in this Note will be in terms of its popular conception as a United States program of economic assistance for Latin America which differs from traditional foreign aid measures by its emphasis upon internal reform in recipient nations. This conception has been fostered by administrative officials. President Kennedy, in seeking appropriations to implement the Alliance, emphasized: Even at the start such measures will be a condition of assistance from the social fund. Priorities will depend not merely on need but on the demonstrated readiness of each government to make institutional improvements which promise lasting social pro- gress.

University of Nijmegen No. 82 June 1980 Introduction It is becoming almost impossible to deal as a social scientist with the , subject of popular participation (which implies participation. of the majority of the people in determining the direction of development, and also in the distribution of its benefits) without dealing with the. interests opposing such participation and with ways.to deal with this opposition~ Particularly in Latin America the,history of popular participation is one of- growing contradic-tion, conflict and conflict· reso·lution •. Although social conflict and tension appeared.at one time to be taboo for. the majority of social scientists and planners, developments during the 1960s. have shown that this fear is disappearing. 1 Awareness is growing that conflict,-rather than·being something.to be avoid..., ed at all· costs, can even be. a creative· ·force in promoting needed change and effectiveparticipa.tion.

Yotopoulos Stanford University* Discussion Paper 72 NOVEMBER 1986 This paper was presented at the 1986 Summer Workshop in Development Eccnanics, sponsored by the ESRC. THE (RIP)TIDE OF PRIVATIZATION: LESSONS FROM CHILE • Pan A,, Yotopoulos* Stanford University, U.S.A. The So-called "tide of privatization" has so far been just a ripple in developing countries. Only in two Third World countries, Bangladesh and Chile, privatization of state-owned enterprises has been at all significant and both cases were rather atypical. In both cases the size of the state sector had been inflated recently. In Bangladesh the majority of the state-owned enterprises came under government control as being "abandoned" by fleeing owners in 1965 and 1971. The estimated 217 divestitures so far represent about 30 percent of the total state enterprise sector (Chrishty, 1985). Privatization in Bangladesh has been actually "reprivatization." In Chile the situation was more drastic. The country always had a significant state-enterprise sector which increased five-fold in the period 1970-73 by a combination of defaulting private enterprises and of nationalization of certain private companies for the purpose of promoting the socialist restructuring of the economy. Of the 500 companies that were under state ownership (majority or partial) at the time of the installation of the military government, only 19 remained under public control at the conclusion of the privatization operation in late 1970 (Foxley 1982b, CORFO, n.d.).

  • Chilean Land Reform and Conflict with Indigenous Communities
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The grievances of a failed reform: Chilean land reform and conflict with indigenous communities Jaimovich, Dany and Toledo, Felipe University of Talca 16 March 2021 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/109136/ MPRA Paper No. 109136, posted 23 Aug 2021 13:49 UTC The grievances of a failed reform: Chilean land reform and conflict with indigenous communities Dany Jaimovich∗and Felipe Toledo-Concha (Universidad de Talca) This version: November 30, 2020 Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of the Chilean land reform (1962-1973) on the intensity of the current indigenous self-determination conflict (1990-2016). The Mapuche were actively involved in the land reform process, and at least 150,000 hectares were expropriated in their favor. Nevertheless, the counter-reform process, after the 1973 military coup, almost fully reverted these expropriations. This failed land reform potentially created local grievances that may explain some aspects of the current social and political conflict in the region. To test this hypothesis, a unique geocoded plot-level database for the Araucania Region has been assembled. The results from OLS estimates suggest that plots involved in the land reform are more likely to be invaded and attacked. The effect is larger for plots located around indigenous reservations and those in which there was direct Mapuche participation during the land reform. To deal with potential endogeneity problems, we implement an instrumental variable identification strategy based on historical rainfall in the region. The IV estimates mostly confirm the main results. We show that the development of intensive forestry plantations after the land reform is a potential channel for explaining our results.
