R: [governance] Parminder's exchange with Bertrand

[Mary Wong]

Her work is also and increasingly heavily cited by a small but growing
group of law professors and academics (including those working with the
Creative Commons movement) who are concerned about the over-extending
("enclosure") of intellectual property rights to private owners.
 
It was definitely educational for me to read her work, when writing
about crafting a human rights (rather than private property-based)
framework for copyright and other intellectual property.

Hi

She's very deserving (as was Oliver Williamson).   At the same time,
it's hard not to have mixed feelings about political scientists being
tossed into the economics category by the Nobel folks, who apparently
think no other social science merits consideration.  Especially since
economism (or at least the institutionalized fetishism thereof) has done
such thorough damage to political science.

Cheers,

Bill

Bernard,
thanks for reporting the books of Elinor Ostrom.  I've had the honor
and the pleasure to write the preface to the Italian edition of her book
"Understanding Knowledge As a Commons" so it was nice to see her
rewarded with the Nobel Prize

ciao

Fiorello

Oggetto: Re: [governance] Parminder's exchange with Bertrand

Dear all,

An important element in this debate would be to introduce the
intellectual framework developed by Elinor Ostrom (nobel Prize in
Economics 2009) regarding Common Pool Resources (CPRs) and their
corresponding governance mechanisms.  

The fundamental idea is that the classical "tragedy of the commons"
paper is simply wrong and that concerned actors (what we call
stakeholders) can develop common governance frameworks for the
management of common resources.  

Although she does not use the term "multi-stakeholder", the spirit is
clearly there and she positions CPR Governance systems as between state
regulation of the commons and privatization/market mechanisms. 

I do not have time to detail this here but encourage all participants
in this discussion to read "Governing the Commons (
http://www.amazon.com/Governing-Commons-Evolution-Institutions-Collective/dp/0521405998/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267101669&sr=1-3
)" and "Understanding Institutional Diversity (
http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Institutional-Diversity-Elinor-Ostrom/dp/0691122385/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267101721&sr=1-1
)", two of her seminal books on this issue. 

More on that later when I have thee time.

Best

Bertrand
