This volume explores the unanticipated consequences of emulating,
importing, or imposing new institutional models without
commensurate attention to the particular constellations of
interests, identities, norms, and social relations embedded in
local communities. Each chapter is organized around a common
problematic that has received only limited attention in the
literature on institutional change: the dilemmas of deploying the
rules, practices, and design of institutions that have been
imported or imposed from external environments in regions where
actors are more familiar with and find more legitimate locally
embedded norms, practices, social relations, and knowledge
structures. The volume strives to illustrate the analytic power of
the concept of 'syncretism, ' a concept that can be fruitfully
deployed to analyze common aspects of institutional change not
easily captured in existing frameworks.
This book examines how novel institutional forms emerge when actors
creatively reinterpret and reconfigure imported or imposed
institutional models, using case studies from East Asia, the Middle
East, Africa and Latin America.
