These two volumes present the most important recent developments in
the institutional theory of culture and demonstrate their practical
applications. Sometimes called 'grid-group analysis' or 'cultural
theory', they derive from the work of Durkheim in the 1880s and
1900s and develop the insights of the anthropologist Mary Douglas
and her followers from the 1960s on. First redefined within social
and cultural anthropology, the theory's influence is shown in
recent years to have permeated all the main disciplines of social
science with substantial implications for politics, history,
business, work and organizations, the environment, technology and
risk, and crime and consumption. Today, the institutional theory of
culture now rivals the rational choice, Weberian and postmodern
outlooks in influence across the social sciences.
