Abstract

OSTROM, Elinor. RULES WITHOUT ENFORCEMENT ARE BUT WORDS ON PAPER. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.21, pp.15-24. ISSN 0124-5996.

This paper synthesizes extensive research conducted by colleagues from a wide diversity of disciplines that examines the relationships between the social systems and ecological systems they use. One of the key observations is that efforts to design general-purpose blueprints frequently fail. The variety of conditions of an ecological system rarely fit a single scheme for good institutions for a large region.

Keywords : rules; social systems; ecological systems.
