The following contribution focuses on communal land as seen by the modern international historiography towards the end of the 20th and in the beginning of the 21st century. The contribution explores the outstanding issue of the economic expediency of collective property and/or use in comparison with private property. The emphasis lies on the question of ownership and property rights with regard to communal land, which is believed to be of crucial importance for the establishment of any communal land's sustainability. Together with the institution of village communities – which, to a greater or lesser extent, make decisions concerning the management of such land – communal land is seen as a phenomenon shaped and altered by the internal and external factors that need to be recognised and understood. A considerable part of the contribution discusses the influence of property and ownership rights on the environment, which should qualify as one of the key topics of environmental history. Furthermore, the role of customs and collective supervision carried out by the village communities in the context of their management functions is explored as one of the topical questions as well.
