Authors: ,
Abstract: The disparity in the structure of land control which leads to agrarian disputes becomes a continuous discussion in the history of land tenure and land ownership in Indonesia. This research employed the bibliometric analysis and the content analysis of international research on agrarian law to provide a more holistic illustration of the latest research trends in the field of agrarian law. The problems of this research are, "Based on the bibliometric analysis, how do various countries regulate agrarian reform?" and "Based on the content analysis, how do various countries explore the resolution of land conflicts through agrarian reform?" This was normative research that employed the statute approach, the conceptual approach, and the comparative approach. This research utilized the VosViewer application to undergo bibliometric analysis from the data extracted from research database sources. The co-word analysis was employed by using keywords that emerged along with the article. Results showed that Article 33 of the Republic of Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution explains that the state must provide the greatest guarantee of societal welfare. The agrarian reform that is currently applied with several policies that were issued with the enactment of the Law on Job Creation has concerns about the existence of a paradigm that the existence of land is only for the interest of development and investors without paying attention to the needs of society. Various countries have agrarian issues with different backgrounds of problems that may be concluded into four issues, namely the failure in implementing the agrarian reform; the disparity in land ownership; limitations in handling issues of land ownership, and agrarian justice; as well as unjust political intervention.
