          Abstract

          Este trabajo reflexiona sobre las principales aportaciones conceptuales y metodológicas de la obra de Elinor Ostrom, considerando el contexto conceptual y político en que emergió y se desarrolló: la polémica con las hegemónicas tesis de Garret Hardin sobre "la tragedia de los bienes comunes" y la teoría de la elección racional. Analiza las rupturas y continuidades de la obra de Ostrom en relación con distintos paradigmas dominantes en las ciencias sociales. Indica también que sus aportaciones rebasan el campo de las problemáticas ambientales y proveen elementos para la problematización y la redefinición de los esquemas de gobernanza de distintos tipos de bienes y sistemas.

          Translated abstract

          This paper focuses on the main conceptual and methodological contributions made by Elinor Ostrom's work, taking into account the conceptual and political context in which it emerged and developed: the polemic with the predominant thesis of Garret Hardin on "the tragedy of the commons" and with the theory of rational choice. The paper analyzes the breaks and continuities present in Ostrom's work, in relation with the various dominant paradigms of social science. This paper argues that her contributions go beyond environmental issues and provide elements to question and redefine the governance frameworks of various types of goods and systems.

              Going beyond panaceas.

              In the context of governance of human-environment interactions, a panacea refers to a blueprint for a single type of governance system (e.g., government ownership, privatization, community property) that is applied to all environmental problems. The aim of this special feature is to provide theoretical analysis and empirical evidence to caution against the tendency, when confronted with pervasive uncertainty, to believe that scholars can generate simple models of linked social-ecological systems and deduce general solutions to the overuse of resources. Practitioners and scholars who fall into panacea traps falsely assume that all problems of resource governance can be represented by a small set of simple models, because they falsely perceive that the preferences and perceptions of most resource users are the same. Readers of this special feature will become acquainted with many cases in which panaceas fail. The articles provide an excellent overview of why they fail. Furthermore, the articles in this special feature address how scholars and public officials can increase the prospects for future sustainable resource use by facilitating a diagnostic approach in selecting appropriate starting points for governance and monitoring, as well as by learning from the outcomes of new policies and adapting in light of effective feedback.
