“…Alongside the tradition of peasant communalism in the ancien regime, stressed in Marxist historiography (52), there existed also a tradition of hierarchical solidarity between seigneurs and peasantry against royal power. Again, there is well-known evidence of crosssectional regional variation, and of variation within regions over time, in the organized expression of hierarchical solidarity (53), but and popular sedition in seventeenth-century it may be significant that one of the centers of counter-revolution, Brittany, was also a region where seigneurial levies were a relatively high proportion of seigneurial revenue (up to 55 %) (54). While this information is itself insufficient, since we need evidence of the relationship of levies to peasant revenue before assessing the burden of levies on the peasantry, it is still suggestive.…”

The purposes of this article are, first, to present a theoretical discussion of peasant revolts that develops an exchange model of relations between lords and peasants and second, to use this discussion as a framework for a review of some of the work on peasant activity in eighteenth-century France. The argument, therefore, begins from social exchange; it does not privilege structures at the theoretical origin. Any analysis should specify three features of exchange: what is exchanged and the terms of trade, the potential kinds of coordinated activity present in the exchange (the relationship between hierarchy and reciprocity), and the meaning of the exchange relationship to its participants. These three features are interconnected so that, for example, specifying the kind of collective action is also to specify terms of trade and meaning.

Democratic Crisis and Global Constitutional Law explains the current weakness of democratic polities by examining antinomies in constitutional democracy and its theoretical foundations. This book argues that democracy is usually analysed in a theoretical lens that is not adequately sensitive to its historical origins. The author proposes a new sociological framework for understanding democracy and its constitutional preconditions, stressing the linkage between classical patterns of democratic citizenship and military processes and arguing that democratic stability at the national level relies on the formation of robust normative systems at the international level. On this basis, he argues that democracy is frequently exposed to crisis because the normative terms in which it is promoted and justified tend to simplify its nature. These terms create a legitimising space in which anti-democratic movements, typically with a populist emphasis, can take shape and flourish.
