Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to analyze the process and consequences of the agrarian reforms adopted in Brazil and Colombia during the Alliance for Progress, a regional political program created to prevent the propagation of Cuban Revolution through financing productive and social projects aimed to help “underdevelopment” nations from an increase of productivity and social welfare. Taking as reference the developmentalism, industrialization would bring that welfare and productive progress and, for this reason, agrarian reform was an imperative. Although the agrarian reform was demanded by peasant and left movements, it was also considered as a necessity for the dominant bloc during the Sixties. Thus, this article will compare the processes of agrarian reform implemented by the Alliance for Progress in Brazil and Colombia, as well as the reasons for its failure and the reconfiguration of the agrarian structure since the denial to go ahead with those processes.
