Elinor (Lin) Ostrom was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in
Economic Sciences for her pathbreaking research on "economic
governance, especially the commons," but she also made important
contributions to several other fields of political economy and
public policy. The range of topics she covered and the multiple
methods she used might convey the mistaken impression that her body
of work is disjointed and incoherent. This four-volume compendium
of papers written by Lin, alone or with various coauthors (most
notably including her husband and partner, Vincent), supplemented
by others expanding on their work, brings together the common
strands of research that serve to tie her impressive oeuvre
together. That oeuvre, together with Vincent's own impressive body
of work, has come to define a distinctive school of
political-economic thought, the "Bloomington School." Each of the
four volumes is organized around a central theme of Lin's work. The
fourth and final volume, "Policy Applications and Extensions,"
collects sixteen papers that explore further applications and
extensions of Ostrom's work. In fact, Ostrom had been writing about
the scaling up of Bloomington School ideas to treat such problems
since the mid-1990's. Her contributions to the climate change
literature have been very impactful. An increasing number of
scholars working on climate policy are now promoting various
polycentric approaches to the problem. Equally influential, even
seminal, was Ostrom's work (with Charlotte Hess) on the so-called
"knowledge commons," a "hot" area of research dealing with
contested issues such as the appropriate balance between private
ownershipand open-access to information resources. The third part
of the volume moves from applications of Ostrom's ideas to
continuing her own efforts to improve the IAD and SES frameworks so
as to make them even more useful for researchers and analysts.
Finally, the volume concludes with two papers by Ostrom reflecting
on continuing challenges confronting the social sciences generally
and interdisciplinary research in particular. They are reminders
that much work remains to be done.
