Particular requirements for institutional analysis in nature-related sectors (2008, background): “…area), (ii) the resource units generated by that system (e.g., fish, water, fodder), (iii) the users of that system, and (iv) the governance system jointly affect and are indirectly affected by interactions and resulting outcomes achieved at a particular time and place’ (Ostrom, 2007: 15182).”
Constructing Commons in the Cultural Environment (2008, background): “…the lobster industry to flourish.1 This Article confronts the theoretical challenge of understanding the governance of what we refer to as constructed commons in the cultural environment, in which the resources to be produced, conserved, and consumed are not crustaceans but pieces of…”

The three perspectives on energy security: intellectual history, disciplinary roots and the potential for integration (2011, background): “For example, Ostrom’s [63] success in studying co-evolution of resource systems, their users and governance mechanisms shows the feasibility of co-analyzing scien-tiﬁc, economic, and policy variables in speciﬁc contexts and then using the results of such analyses to enrich more general theories.”
Social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: organizing principles for advancing research methods and approaches (2018, methodology): “SES research methods grounded in CAS-based approaches will not provide fool-proof strategies that can be utilized blindly in the search for answers to difficult questions (Ostrom 2007).”
The role of diversification in dynamic small-scale fisheries: Lessons from Baja California Sur, Mexico (2015, background): “…systems, placing equal importance on ecological and human domains (Berkes and Folke, 1998; Berkes, 2003; McClanahan et al., 2008a,b; Ostrom, 2007; Wilson, 2006), and recognizing that these systems are intrinsically linked through a variety of feedback mechanisms (Kittinger et al.,…”
A framework to diagnose barriers to climate change adaptation (2010, methodology): “To understand why a given barrier arises in the adaptation process, we build on a framework proposed for the analysis of social-ecological systems (29, 30).”
Analyzing decentralized resource regimes from a polycentric perspective (2008, background): “Such complexity challenges any attempt to create institutions to manage natural resources, especially those that propose free-market privatization, top-down centralized control, or bottom-up decentralized control as the ‘‘only’’ way to organize ( Ostrom 2007 ).”
Ecosystem services (2011, neutral): “She argues that such frameworks can help bridge ‘the contemporary chasm separating biophysical and social science research’ (Ostrom, 2007: 15186), and build the kind of interdisciplinary science needed to address problems of sustainability.”
Dynamics of rules and resources: three new field experiments on water, forests and fisheries (2013, background): “Marwel and Ostrom, Gardner and Walker (1994) for the case of common-pool resources, are probably the most significant seminal works that generated a stream of experimental variations to understand the behavioral and institutional foundations of why would people, despite the clear incentives to free-”
Mapping social–ecological systems: Identifying ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ dynamics based on characteristic bundles of ecosystem service use (2015, background): “…of systems are present in a landscape, as different configurations of societal interactions with nature are characterized by different resource use patterns, human well-being outcomes, development trajectories, and potentials for environmental traps or collapse (Cumming et al., 2014; Ostrom, 2007).”

The Multiple Facets of Co-Production: Building on the work of Elinor Ostrom (2014, background): “What works well in one set of circumstances may be unsuitable for another – a theme that permeated much of Ostrom’s work (Ostrom 2007; Ostrom et al. 2007; see also Alford and O’Flynn 2012, esp. ch. 10).”
