In Mediterranean Europe, some agrarian reform programs were born in democracy but were executed, in a very different way from how they were designed, during a dictatorship. There are certain parallels between the cases of Italy and Spain, whose agrarian structures were relatively similar, between a north where land ownership was more distributed and there was greater industrialization and a south where large property was predominant. In some way, political regimes, in democracy and dictatorship, had to respond to social demands. The role played by the large lan-downers was central to the success or failure of the reform programs, or agrarian counter-reform? However, changes and continuities can be found among those that were conditioning reform policies.spaAttribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/journal article2339-6806https://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/segleXX/article/view/33431open access351.823.1.63(460)Q15N34N54038Agrarian reformFascismInterwar periodItalySpainHistoriaHistoria contemporánea5504 Historia Por Épocas5506.06 Historia de la Economía55 Historia
