具体描述

The governance of natural resources used by many individuals in common is an issue of increasing concern to policy analysts. Both state control and privatisation of resources have been advocated, but neither the state nor the market have been uniformly successful in solving common pool resource problems. Offering a critique of the foundations of policy analysis as applied to natural resources, Elinor Ostrom here provides a unique body of empirical data to explore conditions under which common pool resource problems have been satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily solved. Dr Ostrom first describes three models most frequently used as the foundation for recommending state or market solutions. She then outlines theoretical and empirical alternatives to these models in order to illustrate the diversity of possible solutions. In the following chapters she uses institutional analysis to examine different ways - both successful and unsuccessful - of governing the commons. In contrast to the proposition of the tragedy of the commons argument, common pool problems sometimes are solved by voluntary organisations rather than by a coercive state. Among the cases considered are communal tenure in meadows and forests, irrigation communities and other water rights, and fisheries.

作者简介

Elinor Ostrom (née Awan; born August 7, 1933) is an American political economist.[2] She was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson, for "her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons."[3] She was the first, and to date, the only woman to win the prize in this category. Her work is associated with the new institutional economics and the resurgence of political economy.[4]

Ostrom lives in Bloomington, IN, and is on the faculty of both Indiana University and Arizona State University. She holds a Distinguished Professor at Indiana University and is the Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University in Bloomington, as well as Research Professor and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Institutional Diversity at Arizona State University in Tempe. Ostrom also serves as a lead researcher for the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SANREM CRSP), managed by Virginia Tech and funded by USAID.[5]

读后感

五年前在清华共管学院进修时曾听过奥斯特罗姆的讲座，但全程英文，且当时我并未看过她的经典著作《公共事物的治理之道》，奔赴她的讲座纯属对第一位获得诺贝尔经济学奖女性的好奇。学院的王亚华老师曾赴美在她手下学习过一段时间，在公管院那么长时间，我也只听过他一次讲座，...  

经济学解决“公地悲剧”的第三条道路 经济学将自己的理论建立在“理性人”的基础上，也就是说个人的私利，通过市场这个“看不见的手”，能够导致公利的产生。从亚当·斯密到曼德维尔，然后经过20世纪的哈耶克和弗里德曼等人的完善，让自私成为了一种美德。 自由市场经济理论的...  

比较经典的一本书，对于徘徊在利维坦与私有化之外的广泛的社会自组织进行了研究。实质上而言，是关于人类集体行动逻辑的一次深刻发觉，发人深省。对于全球范围内的典型个案做了对比性分析。本书推理出的自组织与自主治理的八大特征有非常重要的指导意义。

用户评价

"前代理论假定博弈结构的外在限制恒定，国家市场等机制皆有过分简化的定义，故解决方法不是外来权力就是产权安排，奥女士则着重考察小型社区情境中个人如何在互动中设定和改变博弈规则、分配公用资源，提出社区产权的第三条路。" 引自熊猫。只读了第一三六章的Chris

因为经典，所以近于常识；语言平顺，逻辑清晰。
