Elinor Ostrom on Prisoner’s Dilemma - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 157f Prisoner's Dilemma/Common Good/Common/Social Goods/Ostrom: the so-called "tragedy of the commons" (see Social Goods/Hardin) is often illustrated by the Prisoner's Dilemma, e.g. Ostrom. (1) For example, pasture and arable land used jointly by the farmers of a village. Options: a) "pure cooperation": restrictions of individual use to the level compatible with the collective optimisation (b) "pure defection": no restriction In this situation, each player, no matter how the rest of the villagers behave, will rationally prioritize their individual self-interests: On the one hand, everyone has the chance to reach their preferred situation by playing off their 'free rider strategy'. (...) So while the (weak) Pareto principle calls for cooperation, the principle of dominance urges every player to act against the common interest. In the end, everyone finds themselves in the worst collective situation. On the repetition of the Prisoner's Dilemma, see Prisoner's Dilemma/Fudenberg. 1. Elinor Ostrom, Governing the commons.
