Concept information

Preferred term

institutionalism and institutional theory  

Definition(s)

  • This entry gives an extended overview of an area that, in its recent rich revival, has brought back the study of institutional structures and organizations to the center of social sciences and, in particular, of political science. Institutionalism poses significant questions of epistemological and, more generally, philosophical import for the study of the social world, not least of which is the core antithesis between holism and individualism.
