Inclusive Commons and the Sustainability of Peasant Communities in the Medieval Low Countries

By Maika De Keyzer

Historical peasant societies have proven that they were able to implement sustainable management of the landscape, thanks to the creation of commons. But could premodern societies be sustainable and inclusive at the same time? This book provides evidence that communities did not have to restrict users to a strict level, but could rely on social cohesion and permanent negotiations between interest groups in order to guarantee a sustainable management.
