Organisational and legal mechanism of land reform completion in Ukraine
Abstract
This article addresses problematic issues of agricultural reform in Ukraine. Following the completion of the reform, new land relationships emerged characterized by a new legislative and regulatory framework, various forms of land ownership and the establishment of the state cadastre market system, etc. However, in recent years, negative consequences of political actions have occurred, which are manifested by organizational issues in state bodies as regards resource management and land use. The legislative work carried out in recent years should have been aimed at the conclusion of the agricultural reform, and not vice-versa. The current moratorium on the sale of agricultural land has deprived landowners of the right to freely dispose of their land. At the state level, the number of parcels is decreasing and concentrated in the hands of oligarchs, which has led to a growing corruption problem. The aim of this article is an analysis of a number of contemporary issues in the legal regulation of land relations, particularly those concerning the opening of the land market, as well as to develop proposals for their resolution. The article discusses the organizational and legal mechanism of agricultural reform completion in Ukraine. It analyses the legal framework and proposes changes in legislative and regulatory sources in order to balance the legislative process and to identify promising ways of transferring land to efficient land users.
