TORRES-MAZUERA, Gabriela. El ejido posrevolucionario: de forma de tenencia sui generis a forma de tenencia ad hoc. Península [online]. 2012, vol.7, n.2, pp.69-94. ISSN 1870-5766.

The post-revolutionary ejido was defined, by one of the lawyers who most reflected on this form of land-tenure, as sui generis. The recognition of individual entitlements with characteristics similar to private property within the corporate ownership of the land was its main peculiarity. The constitutional reforms of 1992 have given the ejido even more peculiar traits that deny the principles that were the justification for its creation. This paper presents the genesis and evolution of post-revolutionary ejido as a legal form of land-tenure. The intention is to show the contentious nature of any legal framework that has enabled wide margins of law interpretation and application.
