Beskrivning

Stefano Bartolini argues that, despite the growth of a large theoretical literature about institutions and institutionalism over the last thirty years, the specific nature of political institutions has been relatively neglected. Political institutions have been subsumed into the broader problems of the emergence, persistence, change and functions of all types of institutions. The author defines political institutions strictly as norms and rules of 'conferral', to be distinguished from norms/rules of 'conduct' and of 'recognition'. They are those norms and rules that empower rulers, set limits to the capacity to ensure behavioural compliance, and define the proper means for achieving such compliance. This book draws logical and empirical consequences from this understanding, to distinguish different types of norms/rules, and to specify the peculiarities of those norms/rules that are 'political'. The book will appeal to researchers of political institutions in comparative politics, and in political science and political sociology more broadly.

Recensioner i media

'With sweeping historical reference and discerning judgment, Stefano Bartolini takes on one of the central problems of contemporary social science, namely, how we should understand 'institutions', with a view to establishing what is distinctive about political institutions. This is a book full of insights from which everyone who wants to understand the role of institutions in political life can learn.' Peter A. Hall, Krupp Foundation Professor of European Studies, Harvard University
