Over the last decade the neo-institutionalist literature on
comparative capitalism has developed into an influential body of
work. In this book, Colin Crouch assesses this literature, and
proposes a major re-orientation of the field. Crouch critiques many
aspects of this work and finds a way of modelling how creative
actors trying to achieve change - institutional entrepreneurs -
tackle these constraints. Central to the account is the concept of
governance, as it is by recombining governance mechanisms that
these entrepreneurs must achieve their goals. In seeking how to
analyse the spaces in which they operate, Crouch criticises and
deconstructs some dominant approaches in socio-political analysis:
to typologies, to elective affinity and complementarity, to path
dependence. He develops a theory of governance modes, which
includes potentially decomposing them into their core components.
Finally, he proposes a reorientation of the neo-institutionalist
research programme to take more account of detailed diversity and
potentiality for change. The book is primarily theoretical, but it
makes liberal use of examples, particularly from studies of local
economic development and politics.
