In addition to winning the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
for her path-breaking research on "economic governance, especially
the commons," Elinor (Lin) Ostrom also made important contributions
to other fields of political economy and public policy. This
four-volume compendium of papers written by Lin (often with
coauthors, most notably her husband, Vincent), along with papers by
others expanding on her work, brings together the strands of her
entire empirical, analytical, theoretical, and methodological
research program. Together with Vincent's important theoretical
contributions, they defined a distinctive "Bloomington School" of
political-economic thought. Volume 2 examines Lin's work on "the
commons," in which she demonstrated that, in many cases, local
resource users can solve collective-action problems through
common-property management regimes. It comprises papers, including
some that are not well known, related to and building on the
findings of Governing the Commons (1990). Part I focuses on key
attributes of biophysical resources and the institutions human
communities have designed to govern them. Part II shows how in
various social and ecological circumstances, different sets of
institutions facilitate or impede the long-run sustainability of
resources. Part III highlights Ostrom's first major research
project on water resources in Southern California. It was a topic
she (and her students) returned to with the specific intention of
gathering data (more than 50 years' worth) for longitudinal
analyses of combined institutional and ecological change. In sum,
this volume contextualizes what is, at present, thought to be Lin's
greatest legacy to social science: the conditions under which
resources can be sustainably managed over very long periods of time
by the collective action of ordinary people, beyond markets and
states.
