Description

This groundbreaking book presents the first comprehensive synthesis of rational choice theory and sociological perspectives for analysing social institutions. Addressing a central concern in social theory that has re-emerged as one of the most intensely debated issues in contemporary social science, the work explores how social institutions originate, persist and shape outcomes across societies. Written for economists, rational choice theorists and sociologists, it demonstrates why institutional constraints matter critically to understanding social phenomena that economists and theorists seek to explain. The book fills a significant gap by showing how institutions function beyond traditional general equilibrium theory, offering scholars and students a unified framework for understanding institutional emergence and maintenance in modern societies.

Key Features

Synthesises rational choice theory with sociological analysis to explain social institution behaviour and formation.

Addresses the origin and maintenance of social institutions through integrated theoretical frameworks applicable to multiple disciplines.

Explores how institutional constraints affect social outcomes and economic behaviour in contemporary social science research.

Published by Routledge and Aldine Transaction, providing authoritative coverage of institutional theory for academic audiences.
