Elinor Ostrom, Nobel Laureate in Economics 2009; Distinguished Professor and Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science at Indiana University. Her work has emphasized the way human communities interact with ecosystems to maintain long term sustainable resource yields, bucking conventional wisdom that the commons need to be managed by government regulation or privatization. She is best known for Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action (Cambridge 1990), and is author most recently of Working Together: Collective Action, the Commons, and Multiples Methods in Practice (with Amy R. Poteete and Marco A. Janssen, Princeton 2010). From 1996-7 she was President of the American Political Science Association.
