O n June 12, 2012 Elinor Ostrom died. She was Distinguished Professor, Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science, and founder of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University (now renamed in honor of her and her husband Vincent, who also passed away this year). Lin served as the President of the American Political Science Association and the Public Choice Society and was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel …
Identity challenges Facing the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences
Founded in 1980, the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences (APLS) sought to establish biopolitics as a recognized field and to integrate biologically based research methods into mainstream political science. The association's founders established these goals to encourage a generation of scholars and promote the spread of biopolitical knowledge. There was early success when the American Political Science Association (APSA) recognized biop…
Introduction Evolution, public goods, and the state
F ifty years ago, the concept of a public good was understood only in casual terms. It took the formalizations of Paul Samuelson, Mancur Olson, and others in the 1960s to bring its remarkable properties to the full attention of the social science world. Those properties are its indivisibility — it cannot easily be divided up and parceled out to people according to their individual demand for it — its nonexcludability — people cannot easily be exc…
Public goods, sharing genes, and the formation of large groups
Humans exhibit intense attachments to very large groups, sometimes numbering in the millions. The author addresses the question of how inclinations to attach to large groups might have evolved and identifies the problem of collective action and free riding as the central obstacles to overcome. He argues that the nonsubtractibility feature of public goods and the inclusive fitness theory of W. D. Hamilton are key elements in the evolution of shari…
Secession crises, human welfare and conflict resolution
Violent and persistent inter-group conflict often results from antagonisms that arise between minority groups and central governments over the oppressive treatment of the minority group and over efforts by the minority group to secede from the parent state. The legal principles that have guided international involvement in these secession crises, namely self-determination of peoples and territorial integrity of the state, have not been effective …
Evolution, Mobility, and Ethnic Group Formation
By drawing on ideas developed in evolutionary psychology, this article attempts to contribute to improved understanding of ethnic group formation and change. Specifically, the article asks whether and to what degree evolved mental capacities and dispositions, in interaction with human social environments, account for ethnic group formation. The central arguments are that, in recent millennia, evolved reasoning capabilities of humans have led to a…

Comparing Prisoner's Dilemma, Commons Dilemma, and Public Goods Provision Designs in Laboratory Experiments
The ability to cumulate and compare findings from laboratory experiments is impeded by the wide variety of designs employed in these studies and by the different incentive characteristics embedded in those designs. This article attempts to improve potential for comparing findings by proposing variables that specify incentive features of collective action designs. For many designs as seemingly disparate as those in prisoner's dilemma, commons dile…
Regulatory responses to commons problems
The article analyzes selected aspects of the history of the Columbia River to identify attempts that have been made to solve use problems involving the salmon fishery commons and to identify associations between antecedent events and particular solutions chosen. The results suggest some rudimentary associations between regulatory arrangements and supply characteristics of the fishery commons. These associations are tenuous, however, and probably …

Understanding and cooperation in social dilemmas
Explaining Hazardous Waste Regulation at the State Level
A decentralized mechanism for siting hazardous waste disposal facilities
The Shaping of Environmental Attitudes in Air Pollution Control Agencies
T he effectiveness of public agencies in achieving the objectives for which they were created has become a paramount concern for administrators, politicians, and researchers. A variety of variables including resources, authority, structure, and political variables have been cited as influences on the effective performance of public agencies.' In addition, the attitudes held by personnel in pollution control agencies have been examined as possible…
