Elinor Ostrom’s Contribution to Nonprofit and Voluntary Action Studies
本文介绍诺贝尔奖得主奥斯特罗姆及其团队开发的治理工具，探讨这些工具如何帮助非营利与志愿行动学者研究秩序与可行安排等核心问题。
Elinor “Lin” Ostrom, winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics, spent her career developing ideas and tools to address the concept of governance—what Oliver Williamson describes as the “provision of good order and workable arrangements.” Nonprofit and Voluntary Action (NVA) scholars are similarly concerned with good order and workable arrangements but draw on different, if not more disparate, scholarly traditions. This special issue sheds light on the promise that integration of the tools developed by Ostrom and NVA scholarship holds. In this article, including its primer appendix, we provide a broad introduction to the tools created by Lin and her collaborators at The Ostrom Workshop (the “Workshop”) in the interest of exploring their utility for NVA scholars’ central questions.
