The Theory of Institutional Design Hardback
Edited by Robert E. (Australian National University, Canberra) Goodin
Part of the Theories of Institutional Design series
Hardback
Description
Problems of institutional design and redesign, structuring and restructuring, acquired particular poignancy through recent developments from eastern Europe to southern Africa.
At the same time, scholars in each of several disciplines - political science, economics, sociology, history and philosophy - have increasingly come to appreciate the important independent role that is, and should be, played by institutional factors in social life.
In this volume, disparate theories of institutional design given by each of those several disciplines are synthesized and their peculiar power illustrated.
Through analysis of examples ranging from changes in the British welfare state through the transition of eastern European societies to the reward structure of the modern university, the contributors emphasize the important interpenetration of normative and empirical issues in theories of institutional design.
