Summary:

"Institutionalism" is the buzzword of the 1980s and 1990s in the social sciences. In this book a distinguished group of social scientists drawn from political science, economics, and sociology show us how different theoretical approaches can be joined to build a more thorough understanding of institutions.

The papers collected in this volume address the merging of rational choice and historical-sociological institutionalism in the "new institutionalism".
