Description: The determinants of the radical features of agrarian reform in Albania are discussed. Specifically, 2 key questions are addressed: 1. Why has Albania chosen free distribution of land to the rural population instead of land restitution, unlike most other Central and Eastern European countries? 2. Why has reform in Albania resulted in such a radical decollectivization process, causing a complete breakup of the collective farms, unlike most other Central and Eastern European countries. An overview of the reforms and the evolution of property rights in the Albanian agriculture is provided. How a combination of economic, political, institutional, and social factors has caused the radical reform policy choices and the dramatic effect on the structure of agriculture is explained.
