Abstract
+e fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu regime in Romania in 1989 showed not only the collapse of a political system unable
to survive its own internal contradictions and unable to o=er alternatives to the capitalist model operating across
the Iron Curtain, but the end of a system whose land policy were based on a public and cooperative agriculture
promotion. +ose agriculture policies were dismantled by the National Salvation Front (FSN) inmediately when
that transition government was empowered after january 1990, only one month later of the 1989 December
Revolution. However, the especialized literature has focused extensively in addressing the 1991 land reform,
devoting less attention than it deserves, due to its importance, to the 'rst political and legal decisions of the FSN
took to lay the groundwork of the future land privatization one year before. +e paper deals with the exposition
and the analysis of the agro-liberal measures enacted to dismantling the collective agriculture of Romania by the
predemocratic transitional government in 1990.
