The Right

From the twelfth century on significant numbers of Benedictine and Bernardian monasteries in the region of Galicia owned great dominions that were ceded under foral arrangements to peasants. These land colonizers implemented strategies of undermining direct dominion thanks to the fragmentation, dispersion and extension of the land, along with the fact that the right to cultivate land could pass to relatives or neighbours. Moreover, the intense changes affecting the agricultural land structure in the Modern Age forced the religious orders to continually seek to control these farm lands and to clarify the obligations of the tenants. Ultimately it was not the amount of land or the surface measurements that mattered for estimating the properties, but rather the land production or rents. Mainly using the abundant documentation in the splendid Cistercian archives, this paper examines the various mechanisms that the monasteries employed in each period to seek to control their lands and rents. First were the attempts to define the delimitation of the lands (apeos). Next came efforts to transform foral land tenancy into leased land arrangements. Finally, in the last part of the Ancien Regime, prorating was used. Given the rather inefficient outcome of the delimitation of land and the failed attempts to end the foral arrangements, a cursory reading would suggest that the Galician monasteries were not very successful in their efforts. Yet their accounting indicates that they actually managed to collect almost the entire amount of their rents at the time of the disentailment and exclaustration of church lands, which is more than can be said of other religious communities throughout the Iberian Peninsula.

The specific role of farmers and their actual or potential involvement with RE adoption and the wider community is potentially important but has not been addressed by research. This research carried out a postal survey of 2000 (response rate of 20.1%) farmers in the West Midlands region of the UK to investigate some of the factors affecting farmers’ intentions to invest in RE production and associated enterprises. Multivariate linear regressions showed that the farmer’s level of education, level of farm diversification, land tenancy status and farm business turnovers were the most important factors affecting intentions. It also emerged that perceived support of family, friends and associational networks was a significant positive influence on farmer’s investment intentions. The policy implications for these results are discussed.

The One

Theoretical debates about the efficiency of sharecropping discuss risk-sharing in relation to farmers' wealth and credit, as one explanatory factor. This perspective is explored here in the southern Portuguese province of Alentejo, from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Three points are made: (1) leasing and sharecropping coexisted on the same land; (2) there was no unequivocal relationship between risk sharing, on the one hand, and the contractual mode of tenancy (fixed-rent or sharecropping), on the other; and (3) relating risk-sharing, defined as a continuous variable, with social differentiation of demand for tenancies provides a rationale for a hypothetical long-term shift in contracts, from medieval sharecropping to fixed-rent tenancies with sharecrop subletting in the nineteenth century.

The Relationship

The relationship between land tenancy and social struc-ture of Palestine in the Herodian eraThe article describes the relationship between land tenancy and social structure of Palestine. Secondly it describes the conflicting percep-tions of land tenancy within the social structure of Palestine. The conflicting perceptions of land tenancy led to conflict between the elite and the peasants. This conflict was intensified by the hierarchical social structure of Palestine. The article concludes that the use of the social scientific model of the social structure of Palestine prevents anachronism and reductionism in the interpretation of biblical evidence regarding land tenancy.
