自主治理思想的理论渊源探颐--基于埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆研究进路的分析

Exploration of the Theoretical Origins of the Thought of Self-Governance——An Analysis Based on the Research Path of Elinor Ostrom

埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆的自主治理思想并非“无源之水”,而是在汲取既有公共资源治理与集体行动理论的丰富养分之上,历经长期思考和不断探索而得以生成的知识体系,具有较为深厚的理论渊源。将奥斯特罗姆的该项研究置于特定的历史背景中进行考察,从中探寻与其他理论之间的延承关系及其发展脉络,能够促进并深化对于奥氏研究的理解程度。公共选择理论、新制度经济学、合作博弈理论以及多中心治理理论对于个人主义的方法论、新制度主义的博弈规则、多人合作博弈结构和社会治理秩序等方面的系统探讨,是奥斯特罗姆思想衍生的学术渊源。

Elinor Ostrom’s thought of self-governance is not an“inexhaustible source”,it is a knowledge system that has been developed through extensive reflection and continuous exploration,drawing from the rich nutrients of existing theories on public resource governance and collective action,it has deep theoretical roots.This paper puts Ostrom’s research in a specific historical context and explores its connections and development with other theories,which can promote and deepen our understanding of Ostrom’s research.The study reveals that the academic sources of Ostrom’s ideas includes public choice theory,new institutional economics,cooperative game theory,and polycentric governance theory.These theories provide systematic discussions on individualistic methodology,game rules of new institutionalism,structures of multi-person cooperative games,and social governance orders,among other aspects,which contribute to the development of Ostrom’s ideas.
