This research reveals the significance of the reference back to historical organisational forms in present-day self-organisation initiatives in the Dutch rural landscape. Three selforganisations which, in name at least, refer back to the historical marke [bounded common land], meent [common grazing grounds] and naoberschap [the obligation within a small social community to help each other] have been analysed in this chapter. This analysis was done by means of a theoretical framework, based on the four levels of institutions from the New Institutional Economics (NIE), and an historic analysis of the boermarke [bounded common land] in the province of Drenthe. It reveals that the initiatives don’t necessarily wish to revive the historical organisations. The historical connection appears merely to refer to the modernday desire for collectivity on a local scale for the organisation of the landscape. This desire for a small-scale organisation with local commitment, for communal use and management of land as well as the local exchange of rights and responsibilities, is timeless but, nowadays, it is not a common phenomenon in the planning and management of the landscape.
