Elinor Ostrom on Collective Action - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 730 Collective Action/Ostrom: Ostrom starts from the individual and the individual benefit calculations in order to make the results of self-organisation explainable. She uses the approach of Oliver Williamson and his New Institutional Economics(1) >Institutions/Williamson. Williamson: Thesis: the behavioral assumptions of limited rationality and the mutual expectation of opportunistic behavior of the individual shape the decision-making situation ((s) context: in the prisoner's dilemma, the theory assumes that rational participants decide against cooperation). Ostrom: In addition, Ostrom also takes into account the importance of context, time horizon and behavioural norms for individual decisions as a group's social capital. N.B.: in combination of these aspects, the assumption of rational behaviour can be maintained and will nevertheless lead to actors not being able to make decisions independently but in a coordinated manner. (2) See Self-organization/Ostrom. Brocker I 737 Core elements of an analysis of collective actions are for Ostrom: institutional analysis, multi-level consideration and rational election actions. >Social Goods/Ostrom, Self-organisation/Ostrom. 1.
