Abstract

Aims: This paper shows the analytical framework used by Elinor Ostrom in her book Understanding Institutional Diversity, which provides that institutions underlie the decisions that face the economic individual and develops the proposal by Ostrom of modifying the rules, to make them efficient and insert them into codes or regulations (local, national and international) to make them sustainable over time.

Results: There is a common framework to analyze human behavior. Institutional Analysis Diversity is a method which studies human actions diversity, the purpose established by Ostrom was developed categories and variables to study how individuals were facing to take decisions. If decisions are made several times, i.e., they repeat, it means strategy has worked. The economic idea underlies from repetitive game theory. Thereby, enhancing interaction with people and it becomes prescription. Eventually, it can be changed in a customary norm that, reinforced by the community, is converted in a moral o legal norm.

Conclusion: The results of the Institutional and Analysis Development (IAD) and its recommendations must be evaluated to apply to the analysis of México and its community. An important exercise would be to verify Ostrom's institutional framework and the evolutions of standards in indigenous communities, as well as institutions operating in academic, political and other fields. It is a matter of building fairer norms and motivating the intersubjective cooperation of the participants, not the opposite.
