Political Creativity intervenes in the lively debate currently
underway in the social sciences on institutional change. Editors
Gerald Berk, Dennis C. Galvan, and Victoria Hattam, along with the
contributors to the volume, show how institutions inevitably
combine order and change, because formal rules and roles are always
available for reconfiguration. Creative action is not the exception
but the very process through which all political formations are
built, promulgated and changed. Drawing on the rich cache of
antidualist theoretical traditions, from poststructuralism and
ecological theory to constructivism and pragmatism, a diverse group
of scholars probes acts of social innovation in many locations:
land boards in Botswana, Russian labor relations, international
statistics, global supply chains, Islamic economics in Algeria,
Islamic sects and state authority in Senegal, and civil rights
reform, colonization, industrial policy, and political consulting
in the United States. These political scientists reconceptualize
agency as a relational process that continually reorders the nature
and meaning of people and things, order as an assemblage that
necessitates creative tinkering and interpretation, and change as
the unruly politics of time that confounds the conventional
ordering of past, present, and future. Political Creativity offers
analytical tools for reimagining order and change as entangled
processes. Contributors: Stephen Amberg, Chris Ansell, Gerald Berk,
Kevin Bruyneel, Dennis C. Galvan, Deborah Harrold, Victoria Hattam,
Yoshiko M. Herrera, Gary Herrigel, Joseph Lowndes, Ato Kwamena
Onoma, Adam Sheingate, Rudra Sil, Ulrich Voskamp, Volker Wittke.
