Abstract:	From the Introduction: "Peasant communities, engaged in collective action, tend to be considered as quite homogeneous and congenial communities, who co-operated to secure their common interests against shared threats and challenges. However, an ever increasing amount of research into institutions for collective action, especially within the field of sociology, but also from a historical point of view, has indicated that commoners formed a far more heterogeneous group than usually supposed."
