Human behaviour is infinitely complex, the result of thousands of
interactions between predispositions, external factors and physical
and cognitive processes. It is also highly unpredictable, which
makes meaningful social engagement difficult without the aid of
some external framework such as that offered by an institution.
Both formal and informal institutions can provide the element of
predictability necessary for successful, complex interactions, a
factor which is often overlooked by institutional analysts and
designers. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines including
psychology, economics, and sociological and political studies, this
book develops a coherent and accessible theory for explaining the
unpredictability of individual behaviour. The author then
highlights the danger of institutional reforms undermining the very
capacity to generate predictability which is so central to their
success. This book will appeal to academics, researchers and
professionals in many fields including management studies,
behavioural economics and the new, interdisciplinary field of
institutional design.
