John W. Meyer's work broke new grounds in institutional thought in
sociology and made him a central thinker for the emerging
interdisciplinary field of neo-institutionalism, while at the same
time establishing institutional thought's comparative variant,
world society theory. His scholarship plays a prominent role in
contemporary social theory, and has shaped research areas such as
international relations and globalization, organization theory, and
management studies.
One of the results of Meyer's wide-ranging and interdisciplinary
influence is that his work has appeared in a diverse range of
outlets. This book brings together some of John W. Meyer's
widely-scattered work, reviewing four decades of scholarship, and
adding several original pieces from Meyer's current work. It
gathers substantive commentary on social processes, from
stratification to globalization to socialization, as well as on key
social institutions, from science to religion to law to education.
In its expansive review, this book is both about neo-institutional
thought in general and world society theory in particular.
This book is both by John W. Meyer and about John W. Meyer: to the
compilation of Meyer's canonized and current work, Georg Krucken
and Gili S. Drori add an essay on the theoretical and empirical
contribution of Meyer's institutional theory, placing it within the
broader context of contemporary social theory, globalization
research, and organizational studies in both in the United States
and Europe."
