| Summary: | "New institutionalism is one of the most influential approaches in contemporary political science. In this collection of essays, top scholars in the field offer important contributions to new institutionalist theory, engaging in debates about structure and agency, state-society relations, institutional creation and change, preference formation, and the complicated web of relationships between institutions, culture, ideas, identity, rationality, and interests. From an analytical point of view, the essays examine how the state and political institutions shape a variety of political phenomena and outcomes, namely, nationalism, democratic transition, party aggregation, policy networks, war and peace, international recognition, sovereignty, and specific public policies. One of the unique features of the book is that it offers institutionalist analysis in the sub-fields of political science: comparative politics, public policy, and international relations."--Jacket |
