New Institutionalism is currently one of the most prominent
approaches in political science. In this innovative collection, top
scholars in the field offer substantial theoretical and analytical
contributions to new institutionalist scholarship, 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 contributors 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 selected public policies. They offer thorough
theoretical reflections on the relationship between institutions
and society as well as on the role of institutions in political
analysis. Featuring discussions of comparative politics, public
policy, and international relations, as well as the
institutionalist traditions of English and French Canadian
political science, this collection from editor Andre Lecours is a
comprehensive examination of the subject, making it a crucial
addition to any political scientist's library.
