Abstract

The paper discusses the application of Elinor Ostrom’s Social Ecological Systems (SES)framework, using as example a community organization in Costa Rica, which collectively extracts turtle eggs. The paper does so with the particular aim of examining the coevolving relationship between political science and economics. The SES framework is un-derstood as a useful exploratory tool, which was introduced into a joint research agendafrom a political science perspective. The breadth of its approach enables it to captureempirically observable diversity. In this sense it provided a perfect complement to themore partial view that economics brought into the coevolving research process.
