Property credit and land market: agrarian counterreform of the world bank in the state of Ceará - Brazil

Abstract

This paper analyzes the land credit policy (1997-2003) as a policy of
agrarian counter-reform of the World Bank in the state of Ceará. The model, based on
market agrarian reform, designed and distributed by the state and federal government as
an alternative to actual land reform. Initially, it is presented the broader process,
bordering the logic in which the programs were inserted. Then we discuss the inviability
of socioeconomic policy in rural settlements in the state of Ceará. Finally, it is outlined
the strategy of strengthening the rentier character of the land in the state.
