Institutions shape every dimension of politics. This volume
collects original essays on how such institutions are formed,
operated, and changed, both in theory and in practice. Ranging
across formal institutions of government such as legislatures,
courts, and bureaucracies and intermediary institutions such as
labor unions and party systems, the contributors show how these
instruments of control give shape to the state, articulate its
relationships, and express its legitimacy. Rethinking Political
Institutions captures the state of the art in the study of the art
of the state.
Drawing on some of the leading scholars in the field, this
volume includes essays on issues of social power, public policy and
programs, judicial review, and cross-national institutions.
Rethinking Political Institutions is an essential addition to the
debate on the significance of political institutions, in light of
democracy, social change and power.
