Abstract

This article examines the role of land reform and the implementation of forest regulation in rural alpine environments in interwar Romania. It contends that dissonance between bureaucracies led to a social and administrative environment of distrust that made forest use and ownership a topic of heated debate. Locals’ expectations of the 1921 land reforms were shaped by intra-bureaucratic strife and legal inconsistencies that banned them from traditional uses of their environments, especially pasturing livestock. The argument draws attention to the role of conflict within the state apparatus as a key factor in the application of policy.
