The subject of this paper is the (dis)trust of peasants towards the social order and political institutions of the Montenegrin system. This relationship is most often reflected in the fact that peasants are more subordinate to the global society, the state and the ruling regime than all other strata in one system. In small societies such as Montenegro, their influence as a political factor and an active participant in the creation of political life is minor. This exclusion is primarily the result of the small number of people remaining to live and work in the village today, and of their demographic characteristics. The involvement in public action is reduced to the execution of orders, payment of taxes, and voting in elections to support or not support those in power. Hence the story of peasants' (dis) trust in the institutional system they live in.

Geographical, ecological, ethnic, economic and cultural diversity of Montenegro caused the prominent diversity of its rural communities. But the real development and structural problems of agricultural production in Montenegro and farms as its main promoter, were always the same everywhere, numerous and difficult. Globally seen, social and economic conditions for the development of family farms in the last two decades have deteriorated even more, and meanwhile many formerly marginal problems, have deepened and become insoluble. Global influences caused and continue to cause different effects in different local and regional structures, therefore the "tempo" of all social changes is faster in some areas and slower in others, while their devastating or rarely fertilizing impact varies in a multitude of different contrasts. This paper presents an overview of the state of family farms in Montenegro, whose majority today are on the verge of agrarian minimum, their own stagnation and/or final disappearance.
