具体描述
The governance of natural resources used by many individuals in common is an issue of increasing concern to policy analysts. Both state control and privatisation of resources have been advocated, but neither the state nor the market have been uniformly successful in solving common pool resource problems. Offering a critique of the foundations of policy analysis as applied to natural resources, Elinor Ostrom here provides a unique body of empirical data to explore conditions under which common pool resource problems have been satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily solved. Dr Ostrom first describes three models most frequently used as the foundation for recommending state or market solutions. She then outlines theoretical and empirical alternatives to these models in order to illustrate the diversity of possible solutions. In the following chapters she uses institutional analysis to examine different ways - both successful and unsuccessful - of governing the commons. In contrast to the proposition of the tragedy of the commons argument, common pool problems sometimes are solved by voluntary organisations rather than by a coercive state. Among the cases considered are communal tenure in meadows and forests, irrigation communities and other water rights, and fisheries.
作者简介
Elinor Ostrom (née Awan; born August 7, 1933) is an American political economist.[2] She was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson, for "her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons."[3] She was the first, and to date, the only woman to win the prize in this category. Her work is associated with the new institutional economics and the resurgence of political economy.[4]
Ostrom lives in Bloomington, IN, and is on the faculty of both Indiana University and Arizona State University. She holds a Distinguished Professor at Indiana University and is the Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University in Bloomington, as well as Research Professor and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Institutional Diversity at Arizona State University in Tempe. Ostrom also serves as a lead researcher for the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SANREM CRSP), managed by Virginia Tech and funded by USAID.[5]

读后感
由于学识尚浅，没有很高深的评论。 不知道是不是因为作者是女性的缘故，我认为她的分析是非常有“人情味儿”的。现在许多理论是机械式的，将人们当做有固定程式的机器人来进行分析的，而且常常令人感到冷漠和绝望——比如众所周知的理性经济人假设。而作者认为...
首先承认这个标题确实有“姨学”的感觉，因为刘数卷阿姨经常把这句话挂在嘴边（无非就是指他们远邪党是中国未来的种子云云）。但是这句诗文本来就不是他的专利，他能用，我也能用。 这本书着实令我喜出望外------对山泽林薮这样的重要资源，到底是应该由国家进行管控还是应该由...
中国的环境面临着从所未有的压力，空气、水和垃圾的问题是环保组织最关心的。就我的观察而言，目前环保组织的争取重点在政府信息的公开与民间组织的的介入，即在外部监督上做文章。 本身不是政治学的科班出身，出于工作的需要和个人的兴趣而阅读这本书，对埃莉诺的思想源流等...

制度主义还是最喜欢North啊。可能是因为小型公共社区合作在中国缺乏传统吧，但写的非常好，经典。
诺贝尔奖获得者的著作还是很值得一读，模型概念论述加案例分析详实且有创新，标杆啊

classic. 为了thesis读的书，相见恨晚获益匪浅。虽然理论的实践总是面对诸多困难，但至少提供了一种可探索的模式。个人对广泛适用的简单模型不是很感冒，因为通常模型越简单，现实越打脸，所以这种多方考量商量着来留出余地的讨论反而比较合我胃口。
