Ostrom's cases involved rivalrous resources in bounded communities; global public goods lack clear boundaries and require enforcement mechanisms polycentric systems struggle to provide.

Bounded communities(describes the limited scale of Ostrom's research examples): A group of people with clear membership and defined borders, where everyone knows who belongs and who doesn't.
Enforcement mechanisms(what makes constitutional rules effective): The methods and institutions (like courts or police) that actually make sure rules are followed and punish people who break them.
Global public goods(contrasts with resources in small, bounded communities): Things that benefit people everywhere (like clean air or fighting disease) but are hard to control or limit to just one group.
Ostrom(refers to research cases studying resource management): Elinor Ostrom was a political scientist who studied how groups of people manage shared resources (like forests or fisheries) without needing a single authority in charge.
