Description

Institutional change serves as a primary driver for social shifts across all major social science disciplines. Despite its importance, a unified theory has remained elusive. This book fills that gap by presenting a comprehensive general theory of institutional change. Drawing from a wide range of literature, the work builds a social evolutionary synthesis that combines the conflict approach with the harmony approach. The text explains how institutional change functions as a process of selecting specific ideas and transforming them into established institutions. By examining the competition of ideas and the struggle for power to establish rules, this book offers a new way to understand how our social and economic structures evolve over time. It is an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the mechanics of social and economic development.

Key Features

Uses a social evolutionary synthesis to combine the conflict and harmony approaches for a complete perspective.

Explains the process of how selected ideas are transformed into formal social and economic institutions.

Analyzes the competition of ideas and the power struggles involved in the creation of new rules.
