  • "The analysis of land privatization in Mexico is one of the paths to understanding the history and the current state of affairs of urban and regional planning in Mexico. Land privatization is a process that has defined the history of Mexican cities and regions since colonial times. Since then, economic and land use policies have influenced the fate of space and territory inn Mexico, the degree and pace of its urbanization, the shaping of its regions, and its "integration" in the global economy. Historically, land privatization policies have fostered the primacy of Mexico City, the economic predominance of the North over the South, and the dispossession and displacement of Indigenous and other rural populations all over Mexico. Land privatization implies the redistribution of territory and its resources among different classes and ethnic groups. The 1910 Agrarian Revolution--an attempt to halt the process of land privatization in Mexico--resulted in the formulation of Article 27 and the ejido land tenure system. Since its inception in the 1917 Mexican Constitution, Article 27 regulated land and natural resources, and ejidos were the organizing entities to carry out land redistribution to the dispossessed, to "give the land to those who worked it". In order to avoid future dispossession and displacement, ejidos were legislated as property of the nation, inalienable, and not subject to use as collateral for amendments to Article 27 as part of the economic restructuring program worked out in agreement with supranational financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. These Ejido Reforms allowed ejidatarios to sell ejidos and use them as collateral for loans, stopped agrarian reform and land redistribution, and initiated a new and more intense wave of land privatization taking place in the current era of free trade. This research analyzes land privatization in Mexico by studying the history of regional economic and land use policies and its impact on the formation of cities and regions. It also examines the role of debt, the Mexican State, and the supranational financial institutions in working out the new wave of land privatization. To this effect, this research analyzes three case studies of ejidos in three different regions to show the impact of the 1992 Article 27 in the restructuring of land, economy, social relations, and space in Mexico."
  • "This book analyzes [ejido] land as space of urbanization and location of economic activities and capital and land privatization as a redistributive process with local, urban, regional and global consequences."
