In the context of contemporary urban policy, linked to the problem of land ownership for impoverished families, which is active and divergent in Latin America, the recent implementation of National Law No. 27,453 / 2018 of Dominical Regularization sanctioned in Argentina is framed within the discussion. Using public expropriation of private land as the main instrument, domain regularization is argued as an inclusion policy that enables the incorporation of full owners, among other issues, following the interference of the neoliberal economist De Soto. Based on a qualitative-quantitative approach methodology, and on the use of secondary sources -documents, regulations, publications, among others- issued nationally and internationally related to the proposed theme, this research aims to address the theoretical arguments that legitimize the recent law, addressing these strategies in relation to other regulations and programs that, although previously instrumentalized in Latin America and Argentina, share the theoretical interference of the discursive framework coming from the neoliberal theoretical line, in defense of secure tenure from, at least, mid-1970s.

Palabras clave : neoliberalism; housing policy; squatter settlements; land use.
