Description
Institutional Change and Globalization by John L. Campbell is a critical examination of the dominant approaches to understanding institutional change in organizations, economics, and politics. The book identifies key problems with these approaches and offers new conceptual, methodological, and theoretical tools for resolving them. Campbell argues that the different paradigms of institutional analysis - rational choice, organizational, and historical institutionalism - share common analytic problems, including a lack of clarity on what constitutes institutional change, inadequate mechanisms for explaining it, and insufficient consideration of non-self-interest factors. To address these issues, Campbell applies his tools to the phenomenon of globalization, correcting misunderstandings about this complex process while developing a new theory of institutional change. By exploring the limitations of existing approaches and offering new insights, Institutional Change and Globalization advances our understanding of how institutions evolve in response to global forces.
