Governing the Commons

The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action
Book • 2015
In this book, Elinor Ostrom investigates how self-organized governance systems can effectively manage common-pool resources, such as fisheries, water basins, and high mountain meadows.

She challenges the conventional wisdom that such resources must be managed either by the state or the market to avoid overconsumption.

Through detailed case studies from around the world, Ostrom identifies the key characteristics of successful common-pool resource management schemes and develops a theory of institutional arrangements that support sustainable governance.

Her work emphasizes the importance of local knowledge, context-dependent rules, and cooperative strategies in achieving collective improvements and long-term sustainability.
