The Dilemma of the Commoners

Understanding the Use of Common-Pool Resources in Long-Term Perspective

af Tine (Universiteit Utrecht De Moor

This book puts the debate on commons, commoners, and the disappearance of both throughout early modern and modern western Europe in a new light, through new approaches and innovative methodologies. Tine De Moor links the historical debate about the long-term evolution of commons to the present-day debates on common-pool resources.
