In the conclusion of this course, Bobbi Herzberg together with Jayme Lemke and Paul Aligica comments on the future of the Bloomington School, and how Elinor Ostrom, as well as Vincent Ostrom work, will be connected with it.

In Lesson 8, Bobbi Herzberg gives a brief analysis of Elinor Ostrom's work and the contributions she made to the political economy. She was recognized by distinct awards but one of the most relevant is the Nobel Prize in Economics, It is important to mentions that she was the first woman to receive this recognition. Watch this lesson and get to know more about this incredible American political economist, as well as her work on institutional analysis, common-pool resources, self-governance, polycentricity, and social-ecological systems.

During Lesson 9 Bobbi Herzberg together with Jayme Lemke and Paul Aligica discuss the institutional analysis and common-pool resources. The professors reveal Elinor and Vincent Ostrom's interest in understanding common-pool resources and how this relates to their studies on other institutional arrangements, that had a lot of public attention.

In Lesson 7 Bobbi Herzberg studies common pool resources, a relevant problem in the field of social science. She also presents the principles that Elinor and Vicent Ostrom determined where necessary to self-govern. Herberg shares the background of how the Ostroms started their work on polycentrism studies, institutional analysis, fieldwork, and their interest to figure out how people had methods to govern themselves.

Lesson 6 is a discussion with the professors of the Mercatus Center to get an in-depth perspective of the exposed issues in the Bloomington School on the Constitution and Self-Governance. They explain the meaning of the constitution, the distinction between governance and self-governance using Ostrom's visión as a starting point.

In Lesson 5 Jayme Lemke will expose the meaning as well as the importance of Rules and Tools to improve the quality of a society. She uses North Korea, South Korea, and the United States to explain how political and social rules can impact a community. Lemke also shares the Ostrom's perspective related to rules as tools, democratic institutions, and political control.

Lesson 4 invites you to learn more about the contribution and importance of Ostrom's work in the Theory of Public Governance.

In lesson 2, Jayme Lemke will teach you about Elinor and Vicent Ostrom's work on the Metropolitan Reform Debate, that took place in the United States public administration community of scholars and analysts. Also, the importance of understanding the Ostrom's research on local public goods, decentralization, efficiency, and how communities provided the resources they needed, to resolve if there is one best science of public administration to provide a local public service.

Is it possible for citizens to participate in the governance process? During Lesson 1 Paul Aligica exposes a comparison between the mainstream and the Ostrom's perspective of public governance. You will learn about self- governance and how the Ostrom's discovered the connection with Co-production, not only with a theoretical foundation but with an empirical insight that added to the understructure of this perspective.
