Lorraine and Winton,

I just came across this. I think you might also want to look at my book, Challenging Institutional Analysis and Development: The Bloomington School (Routledge, 2009) as well as the special issue of JEBO that I edited in honor of Lin and Vincent Ostrom. The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics also has the biographical essay on Lin Ostrom by myself (and my coauthor on many of these projects dealing with Lin and Vincent and their students, Paul Aligica).

The essay under question was published in Public Choice, but it is based on a variety of other works and also many conversations with Lin and Vincent as well as study and teaching from their work for years. Aligica and I also have a paper that is forthcoming in Policy Studies Journal related to the two social philosophies of the Bloomington approach.
