The analysis of how institutions are formed, how they operate
and change, and how they influence behavior in society has become a
major subject of inquiry in politics, sociology, and economics. A
leader in applying game theory to the understanding of
institutional analysis, Elinor Ostrom provides in this book a
coherent method for undertaking the analysis of diverse economic,
political, and social institutions.
"Understanding Institutional Diversity" explains the
Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, which
enables a scholar to choose the most relevant level of interaction
for a particular question. This framework examines the arena within
which interactions occur, the rules employed by participants to
order relationships, the attributes of a biophysical world that
structures and is structured by interactions, and the attributes of
a community in which a particular arena is placed.
The book explains and illustrates how to use the IAD in the
context of both field and experimental studies. Concentrating
primarily on the rules aspect of the IAD framework, it provides
empirical evidence about the diversity of rules, the calculation
process used by participants in changing rules, and the design
principles that characterize robust, self-organized resource
governance institutions.
