Institutional Change and Globalization

John L. Campbell is Class of 1925 Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth College, Professor of Political Economy at Copenhagen Business School, and Adjunct Professor of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen. His books include "The Rise of Neoliberalism and Institutional Analysis" (Princeton).

"Professor Campbell has ably synthesized a vast amount of literature on institutions. He has highlighted common strands of thought across the literature and identified the important mechanisms by which institutions change. His synthesis is clear, well-written and well-argued." - Neil Fligstein, University of California, Berkeley; "This is an impressive book: comprehensive, well-written, judicious but with a clear point of view. It joins a masterful survey of institutional arguments to a sustained dialogue with advocates of the 'globalization hypothesis'.... Through an effective conversation of theory and evidence, Institutional Change and Globalization advances both the theoretical project of institutionalism and our understanding of the ongoing transformations - or not - of the modern world." - Elisabeth S. Clemens, University of Chicago"
