Workshop Affiliates

The Ostrom Workshop collaborates with faculty, researchers, and scholars locally and throughout the world who support our renewed mission “to build upon the theme of governance to understand and address major societal problems.” The Ostrom Workshop has developed an international reputation for innovative research related to institutional analysis and common-pool resource governance. As we build on that legacy and focus on governance, we seek to expand and strengthen affiliations with scholars from a broad range of disciplines.
