Abstract

Reconstruction of terms’ definitions «institutions», «rules», «norms» and «strategies» developed by Elinor Ostrom during 1980s – 2000s is proposed in the article. This reconstruction is the first part of attempt to adopt Ostrom's Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework research method for studying Post-Soviet institutional transformation. Ostrom used a broad definition of institutions as durable regularities in actors’ interactions in situations structured by rules, norms and natural factors. Ostrom's institutional approach in Post-Soviet transformations studies allows to take into consideration in the course of research important, concerning the institutional structure of Soviet and Post-Soviet society, such premises as phenomenon of informal sphere and necessity to analyze social reality on the mezo-level.
