This review article focuses on how  gute Policey  helps us understand the organisation of early modern communities – and their governments. The practice of  gute Policey  – or good order of the community – became visible through legislation (normative texts), while many contemporary academics and lawyers wrote theoretical texts about it. The field is well-known within German research, but it seems hardly known within the Anglophone world due to a preoccupation with state-building/ formation. This article discusses the mainstream interpretations of why governments created more and more legislation: increased control, implementation and communalism – and the resulting negotiated vision.
