We are soliciting manuscripts for special issues of the Journal of Theoretical Politics and Experimental Economics.  These special issues are in honor of Elinor Ostrom and will focus on research in social dilemmas. We are soliciting original, high quality research on behavior in social dilemmas.   Papers will be considered that focus broadly on issues in social dilemma settings, using both lab and field experiments. In particular, we are interested in papers that extend the existing literature as related to:
 
*       Institutions that facilitate cooperation;
*       Testing alternative theories of subject and group behavior;
*       The role of information in repeated-game settings;
 
This call for papers follows the Fifth Biennial Conference on Social Dilemmas.  The first Social Dilemmas conference was organized by Elinor Ostrom and supported by the National Science Foundation, as was the Fifth. Participants from any of the five Social Dilemmas conferences are encouraged to submit a manuscript.  The call, however, is to the broad community working on social dilemmas. We expect that four or five manuscripts will be published in each special issue.  The editors for these special issues will be R. Mark Isaac and James M. Walker for Experimental Economics and Eric A. Coleman and Rick K. Wilson and for the Journal of Theoretical Politics.  Please submit your manuscript to one of the Editors by September 15, 2013.  All manuscripts will be screened by the special editors of the issue and all selected manuscripts will be subject to peer review.
