threatening the rest of the private sector, was especially conducive to this solution. None the less, the experience of post-reform agriculture in a number of socialist countries indicates that this is in practice the best way of articulating such disparate forms of production. Third, that the process of capitalist agricultural development does generate a large proletariat, even though it is disguised in the form of impoverished peasantry. This means that the agrarian reform can proceed in socialised production forms in the 'capitalist' sector without direct peasant owner-ship of land. It is true that in the Nicaraguan case, the relatively high land endowment per head reduced this pressure, but it is also important not to overestimate the 'peasant' nature of agriculture in Latin America [Goodman andRedclift, 1981], because this tends to lead to agrarian reform proposals which ignore the inevitable role of agriculture as the base of the national accumulation model in almost all underdeveloped economies in transition. Fourth, that in the case of Nicaragua, this logic has probably been carried too far. In implementing a project to eliminate the exploitative relation-ship between capitalist export agriculture and the peasantry (cheap labour and cheap food) by establishing a stable rural proletariat and secure food supplies, the revolutionary state has effectively undermined the remaining peasant economy without providing a coherent alternative. This has produced a new contradiction in the agrarian development model proposed for the rest of the century, when the revolution not only depends upon the mountain peasantry for defence against external aggression but also for food supplies during the transitional accumulation period. A successful agrarian accumulation model, above all during the tran-sition, must provide for an adequate articulation of distinct forms of pro-duction as part of the process of rural transformation.

The implementation of agrarian reform to date has not been maximized due to the existence of sectoral egos and lack of coordination between related sectors / ministries. The institutional formation of the GTRA is expected to be able to unite across sectors of the relevant ministries / institutions. In Central Lampung Regency there are many land issues on HGU land and transmigration land which will later become the priority location of the Agrarian Reform Land (TORA). The Central Lampung BPN target in 2020 as many as 3,000 plots of land will be distributed to the public. It is hoped that the existence of GTRA can support the achievement of these targets. This study aims to determine the role of GTRA, obstacles and how to overcome obstacles in implementing agrarian reform in Central Lampung Regency. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The results showed that budget limitations and the existence of an institutional sectoral ego led to impeded implementation of asset management and access structuring. A strong commitment from all GTRA implementers is needed in carrying out all agrarian reform programs. If not, the GTRA will be the same as the previous institution which only changed its name.Keywords: Agrarian Reform, GTRA, TORA Intisari: Pelaksanaan reforma agraria sampai saat ini belum maksimal dikarenakan adanya ego sektoral dan kurangnya koordinasi antara lintas sektor kementerian/lembaga terkait. Pembentukan kelembagaan Gugus Tugas Reforma Agraria (GTRA) diharapkan mampu menyatukan lintas sektor kementerian/lembaga terkait. Di Kabupaten Lampung Tengah terdapat banyak permasalahan tanah pada tanah HGU dan tanah transmigrasi yang nantinya dijadikan lokasi prioritas Tanah Objek Reforma Agraria (TORA). Target BPN Kabupaten Lampung Tengah tahun 2020 sebanyak 3.000 bidang tanah akan direditribusikan ke masyarakat. Harapannya dengan adanya GTRA dapat mendukung capaian target tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran GTRA, kendala dan cara mengatasi kendala dalam pelaksanaan reforma agraria di Kabupaten Lampung Tengah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa keterbatasan anggaran dan adanya ego sektoral kelembagaan menyebabkan terhambatnya pelaksanaan penataan aset dan penataan akses. Dibutuhkan komitmen yang kuat dari seluruh pelaksana GTRA dalam menjalankan seluruh program reforma agraria. Jika tidak maka GTRA akan sama saja dengan kelembagaan sebelumnya yang hanya berganti nama.Kata Kunci: Reforma Agraria, GTRA, TORA

AbstractIn October of 1958, amidst the guerrilla war to topple Fulgencio Batista, Fidel Castro's Rebel Army passed an Agrarian Reform Law that would serve as an embryo for the Cuban Revolution's 1959 land reform. Relying on rare documents from the insurgency, this paper reanimates the debate over the role of peasants during the war, arguing that peasants not only helped shape the movement to topple Batista, but that their mobilization led to the articulation of important guerrilla agrarian policies—including land reform. As the liberated territories became a laboratory in which rebels experimented with how to run a state, peasants took part in civil projects, simultaneously bestowing legitimacy on the movement and harnessing its organizational apparatus for the achievement of the peasants’ own goals. In highlighting the political subjectivity of Cuban peasants, this paper also gives new insight into everyday life during the rebel insurgency.

After independence, the article was devoted to carrying out appropriate reforms to ensure the development of agriculture, which is one of the key areas of the economy of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. It was noted that the leadership of the autonomous republic at the same time, and then the country’s leadership, was instructed to issue the necessary orders for the development of the agrarian sector and the fulfillment of the tasks arising from these orders. In addition, the role of the agrarian sector in ensuring socio-economic development was justified, and the corresponding statistical indicators are reflected in the article. It has been shown that food security is the key to agrarian reform, which is to restrict imports by stimulating domestic production and, above all, production-driven production.

Abstract: The signing of the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2005 marked the end of the Indonesian government's decades-long conflict with the Free Aceh Movement. One of the deals in the Helsinki MoU is to provide farming land to former combatants, amnestied political prisoners, and conflict victims as a form of reintegration and livelihood restoration. However, this activity did not run effectively for a dozen years after the peace deal due to the absence of regulations and authorities in its implementation. Based on this background, this paper examines the role of Agrarian Reform on the policy of agricultural land provision to the people related to the Aceh conflict. This research used a qualitative approach, and relied on observational data and literature review. Agrarian Reform can be an alternative strategy for post-conflict peacebuilding. The concept of asset reform and access reform offered in the Agrarian Reform can be adopted to realize the allocation of agricultural land by the mandate of the Helsinki MoU. The main problems found so far are that there is no regulation regarding the granting of land rights in the law, authority, and several obstacles in its implementation. This paper also provides a crucial lesson that proper agrarian policy contributes to the prevention of recurring conflicts that have the potential to cause national disintegration. Keywords: Agrarian Reform, Free Aceh Movement, Helsinki MoU, Land Redistribution, Peacebuilding   Intisari : Penandatanganan Momerandum of Understanding (MoU) Helsinki pada tahun 2005 menandai berakhirnya konflik pemerintah Indonesia dengan Gerakan Aceh Merdeka selama beberapa dekade. Salah satu kesepakatan di dalam MoU Helsinki adalah menyediakan tanah pertanian kepada mantan kombatan, tahanan politik yang memperoleh amnesti, dan korban konflik sebagai bentuk reintegrasi dan pemulihan penghidupan. Namun, kegiatan ini tidak berjalan secara efektif selama belasan tahun setelah perjanjian damai karena belum adanya regulasi dan kewenangan dalam pelaksanaannya. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, tulisan ini mengkaji peran Reforma Agraria terhadap kebijakan penyediaan tanah pertanian untuk masyarakat yang berkaitan dengan konflik Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, serta mengandalkan data observasi dan tinjauan literatur. Reforma Agraria dapat menjadi strategi alternatif pembangunan perdamaian pasca-konflik. Konsep penataan aset dan penataan akses yang ditawarkan di dalam Reforma Agraria dapat diadopsi untuk merealisasikan alokasi tanah pertanian sesuai amanah MoU Helsinki. Permasalahan-permasalahan utama yang ditemukan selama ini adalah belum adanya pengaturan mengenai pemberian hak atas tanah tersebut di dalam peraturan perundang-undangan, kewenangan, dan sejumlah hambatan dalam pelaksanaannya. Tulisan ini juga memberikan pelajaran penting bahwa kebijakan agraria yang tepat dapat berkontribusi terhadap pencegahan konflik berulang yang dapat berpotensi menyebabkan disintegrasi bangsa.

La historia ambiental es entendida aquí como una invitación a observar en la naturaleza indicios de las transformaciones sociotécnicas del Chile contemporáneo. Se revisan los principales hallazgos de la producción historiográfica y científico-social actual sobre la gestión de los diversos tipos de agua en Chile. Entendida ésta en su condición de material, política y biopolítica, se da cuenta de cómo ha transitado por tres estatalidades orquestadas paralelamente por distintos órganos del Estado chileno: un movimiento constante de zigzag entre la conservación, la desregulación y la tecnificación. Se defiende la propuesta de que, en el entrecruce entre medioambiente y política, está la clave para interrogar, de manera histórica, a la gestión hídrica como decidora de una serie de problemas directamente vinculados a la construcción del Chile contemporáneo y no como relegada a otros problemas clásicos, comola Reforma Agraria, para la segunda mitad del siglo XX, o los agronegocios, para fines del siglo XX, sin desconocer por ello el rol que estos procesos han tenido en la gestión hídrica del país. The Role of State Policy in the Construction of Subjects Associated with Water Management in Contemporary Chile AbstractEnvironmental history is understood here as an invitation to observe in nature indications of the sociotechnical transformations of contemporary Chile. This article looks at the main findings of current historiographic and scientific-social production on the management of different types of water in Chile. Understanding water as a political and biopolitical material, this paper looks at how it has been subject to three state policies orchestrated in parallel by different bodies of the Chilean Government: a constant zigzag movement between conservation, deregulation and technification. It defends the proposal that at the intersection of the environment and politics is the key to a historical inquiry into water management as a deciding factor for a number of problems directly related to the construction of contemporary Chile, and not relegated to other classical problems like the Agrarian Reform of the second half of the 20th century or agribusiness at the end of the 20th century, without fully disregarding the role that these processes have played in the country’s water management.Keywords: Water management, statehoods, neo-liberalization, contemporaryChile.
