AB In this article, we contextualise, describe and analyse the last attempt at land reform inSpain—the one passed by the Autonomous Parliament of Andalusia in 1984. The Andalusianshad passed their Statute of Autonomy by referendum in 1981, incorporating the mandate to carryout an agrarian reform that would boost the rural economy, generate employment and balance theagricultural structure of this region in Southern Spain, peripheral to both national and Europeancentres of power. The Andalusian socialist government complied with this mandate, pushing theagrarian reform law through and applying a package of reform measures, which met with resistancefrom landowners and conservative political forces from the outset. Political, economic, legal andadministrative obstacles swiftly discouraged the Andalusian socialists from persevering in theendeavour, and at the beginning of the nineties, its dismantling began. Finally, in 2011 the end ofthe agrarian reform was declared, and with it, the waiver of the right to consider alternative modelsto the liberal management of the agricultural sector. Archives and newspaper libraries, as well asadministrative and legal sources, have been consulted, and the information has been examined usingcontent analysis and cross-checked and triangulated with the specialised literature. This articlehails a breakthrough in the understanding of the socio-territorial scopes of an agrarian reform littlestudied to date.
