Description

Institutional change shapes societies across all major social science disciplines, yet comprehensive theoretical frameworks remain scarce. This Routledge hardcover develops a general theory of institutional change by synthesising conflict and harmony approaches within a social evolutionary framework. The book argues that institutional change fundamentally operates as a selection process where competing ideas struggle for power to become rules, examining how societies transform through the evolution of their foundational structures. By drawing on diverse academic literature, the work provides scholars, researchers and students in anthropology, sociology and related fields with an integrated understanding of how institutions emerge, evolve and reshape social systems. Essential reading for anyone studying institutional dynamics, social change mechanisms or the theoretical foundations of modern economies and societies.

Key Features

A General Theory of Institutional Change presents a unified social evolutionary synthesis of both conflict and harmony approaches to understanding institutional transformation.

Routledge's hardcover edition offers academic rigour suitable for university-level research in sociology, anthropology and social sciences.

The book examines how competition between ideas and power struggles to establish rules drive the complete process of institutional change.

Designed for scholars and students exploring how institutions emerge, evolve and influence broader social transformation across modern societies.
