Evolução do direito agrário brasileiro: o processo de distribuição de terras no Brasil à luz das legislações editadas em território nacional

Abstract

The history of Brazil is relatively recent, but filled with several peculiarities about the distribution of land. As we are a colonized coun-try, we did not have the opportunity to experience significant advances and ruptures that the imported European model has crossed over time. Nevertheless, the incentive, at the time of the First Empire, to the latifun-dia determines, until the present date, in the agrarian question, notably with regard to the land concentration, although these latifundia, later, have been discouraged by the supervening legislation. The Land Law of 1850, in a very emblematic way, authorized the financialization of land, so that, years later, the reproduction of capital brought sensitive impacts to the national legal culture. As an example, there were the various ideas imposed by Brazilian legislation regarding agrarian reform and land te-nure regularization. It should be noted that, throughout the exhibition, the guidelines established at the beginning of Colonial Brazil had a signi-ficant impact on the current need to reprimarize the economy, giving rise to a strong legal-bureaucratic apparatus in the regulation of the sector, so that the rich legislative evolution of Agrarian Law it is imbricated in fundamental economic aspects in the current reality.
