Abstract

The paper discusses how political regimes evolve property regimes with special reference to Kerala, India. Kerala has given predominance to land reforms due to substantial grassroots politics. The main argument of the paper is that redistributive political regimes favour land reforms as an agenda while needs of private capital reverses it towards land acquisition.
