Description

Explaining Institutional Change Ambiguity, Agency, and Power by James Mahoney and Kathleen Thelen This book offers a new framework for understanding institutional change, one that emphasizes ongoing struggles within and over prevailing arrangements. The authors propose a power-distributional view of institutions and explore how these dynamics shape incremental change in various contexts. Five empirical essays bring the general theory to life through in-depth analyses of specific instances of institutional change across different regions and topics. From the United States to Africa, Latin America, and Asia, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that drive change. The authors reflect on the possibilities for productive exchange among scholars with differing theoretical approaches to institutions, highlighting the value of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing our understanding of institutional change.
