ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I will discuss two well-known frameworks developed at the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University, now affectionately referred to as the Ostrom Workshop (https://ostromworkshop.indiana.edu/">https://ostromworkshop.indiana.edu/). These frameworks are known as the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) and Social-ecological systems (SES) frameworks. Each reflects one of the primary analytical approaches developed at the Ostrom Workshop: institutional analysis. This involves identifying the formal rules and more informal norms that influence the incentives that participants have in decision-making environments and to what effect for public outcomes.
