Abstract

The peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC guerrilla, includes among its main objectives the overcoming of undemocratic and inequitable forms of land distribution. To this end, it proposed a governance matrix for the agrarian issues, that finds its main features in the comprehensiveness of state interventions and the guarantee of effective participation. The development of these elements gave rise to the emergence of the social regulation of rural property (OSPR, by its acronym in Spanish) as the mechanism for the materialization of the postulates of the Comprehensive Rural Reform and then to implement a pilot exercise in the municipality of Ovejas, in the department of Sucre. Based on this experience, a critical discussion is proposed on the characteristics of the land governance matrix derived from the peace agreement, its development through the so-called comprehensive property sweep and its relationship with peasant territorial claims, reflected in the figure of the Peasant Reserve Zones (ZRC, by its acronym in Spanish).
