SYNOPSIS :
Beyond Markets and States: Polycentric Governance of Complex Economic Systems and Launch of LKYSPP-IWP Asia Water Governance Index
Contemporary research on the outcomes of diverse institutional arrangements for governing common-pool resources (CPRs) and public goods at multiple scales builds on classical economic theory while developing new theory to explain phenomena that do not fit in a dichotomous world of "the market" and "the state". Scholars are slowly shifting from positioning simple systems to using more complex frameworks, theories, and models to understand the diversity of puzzles and problems facing humans interacting in contemporary societies. The humans we study have complex motivational structures and establish diverse private-for-profit, governmental, and community institutional arrangements that operate at multiple scales to generate productive and innovative as well as destructive and perverse outcomes (Douglass C. North 1990, 2005). In this lecture, I will describe the intellectual journey that I have taken the last half century from when I began graduate studies in the late 1950s.

SYNOPSIS

When I hear her speak I always wish everyone could think like that. Just breaking down all the old categories that limit people's thinking with steady evidential work, new ways to look at old problems come to light, new options patiently emerge, human freedom increases.
I'm always amazed at the proportion of people who seem incapable of honing their questions before asking them in a public forum--and the moderators who let them ramble. Have some respect for the other people who also want to ask questions.
Thank you for posting this lecture. How a wonderful legacy. Being a Nobel Prize and explaining difficult issues so comprehensively. Awesome Mrs. Elinor Ostrom. It is a pity not have had the opportunity to meet you in person.
