### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Awful finish
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2023*

This is a milestone piece that scholars using the IAD framework must have. The finish of the printing is terrible. Amazon did not pay attention to cutting the pages properly. I had to do it by hand. Every three pages, two were bound to the next one; the paper, I mean.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Book
  

*by I***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2008*

I had been searching for a book on rules, their relationships to the structure of organizations, and to the outcomes produced by such organizations.  The focus of this search was on commons based resources.  I found what I was looking for when I found this book - it was immensely rewarding to read.  At its heart is an outline of a discipline devoted to identifying what works and what doesn't work in terms of structuring organizations and the rules under which they operate.  The first part of the book focusses on the use of game theory in this context.  The second part of the book focusses more on the discipline of how to go about diagnosing instutional rule bases and exploring their consequences.  The last part of the book provides some insight into what has been learned as a result of applying these tools - something that is well worth reading on its own.  This book is essential reading for those who are concerned about human - environmental systems and interactions.  Overall - a superb book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Finally, a framework to intelligently discuss political science and economics.
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2012*

Most people who get politics don't get economics. And most people who get economics don't get politics. The Member of Congress and the professional economist are, with rare exception, very different creatures that inhabit very different worlds. This is the one work of social science I've seen that has the theoretical and empirical chops to bridge this gap. Ostrom does this clearly and concisely by drawing on her extensive field experience, the results of game theory lab experiments, and building a framework around adding a delta to the explicit payoffs of the prisoners' dilemma problem to represent common sense contextual factors.Brilliant throughout, the framework and supporting empirical and theoretical material are incredibly powerful and relevant for any social scientist or policy analyst who wishes to maintain a practical orientation without sacrificing theoretical rigor.
