Description
Book SynopsisIn 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 3 explores the historical development of the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, illustrates its application to a wide range of specific policy problems, and highlights recent extensions that ensure it will remain a vibrant focus of research for years to come. The IAD framework emerged from a long serie

This volume is a much welcomed and needed addition to the field of policy analysis. It deftly provides an overview of the work of Vincent and Elinor Ostrom and the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework. There is simply not another book that offers such a comprehensive set of insights into their science and connects these insights to the field of policy analysis. -- Christopher M. Weible, School of Public Affairs, University of Colorado Denver
The Institutional Analysis and Development framework is one of Elinor Ostrom’s numerous significant contributions to the social sciences, and particularly to the study of public policy. This volume provides an excellent collection of her papers on the framework, as well as research by other members of the Bloomington School. These papers demonstrate the theoretical foundations of the framework, as well as how it can be applied. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how policies are made and implemented. -- B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh
