SAGE Congratulates 2009 Nobel Prize Winners in Economic Sciences
We would like to extend our congratulations to Elinor Ostrom and Oliver E. Williamson, the 2009 Nobel Prize winners in Economic Sciences. Both Elinor and Oliver were early advisors to SAGE, as editor, as editorial board member, and in providing support with our growing urban and regional studies programs in the 1970’s.
Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University, was founding editor of the Journal of Theoretical Politics, now in its 21st volume. She also served the International Editorial Advisory Board of the Urban Affairs Annual Reviews for a number of years.
Founder and Chair of SAGE, Sara Miller McCune, extended her warm gratitude to both Ostrom and Williamson for their influence and support. “Lin and her husband [Vincent Ostrom, Emeritus at Indiana] often gave us sound advice during the 1970s,” she said. “Professor Williamson was also generous to us as an advisor with his broad knowledge of regional studies and was amongst the early influences on our decision to publish in the related field of community economic development.”
SAGE has long been recognized as the world’s leading publisher in the social sciences, and it is due to the involvement and support of great thinkers like Ostrom and Williamson that has helped the company achieve this in just 45 years of publishing.
We’d like to celebrate with Elinor and Oliver by freeing up access to content published by them on the SAGE Journals Online platform. You can access these papers below for free until the end of 2009.

Today, more than 45 years and two million little green books later, SAGE continues to push the boundaries with a growing list of more than 1,200 research methods books, journals, and reference works across the social, behavioral, and health sciences.
