Abstract

With the re-emergence of land reform as a policy issue in the 1990s the experience of Iran is of interest. Iran's land reform (1962–1971) is an important case of a comprehensive and economically successful reform that was implemented by a non-revolutionary state with a dual economy. The improvement in the lives of the peasants did not prevent the disintegration of the political order. It is suggested that land reform's decline during the 1980s was also related to the failure of numerous authoritarian reforms to result in political stability, despite the gains to the peasantry.
