Book Description:

This is a 1995 study of one of the most unusual political entities in early modern Europe: the Freestate of the Three Leagues in the Grisons, a rural confederation of peasant villages in the Swiss Alps. New light is shed both on an early democratic state and on the role of community in the history of early modern democracy.
