Putting the "Institution" Back in Institutional Analysis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book posits an original synthetic theory of institutions as macro-level structural and cultural spheres of action, exchange, and communication. Abrutyn examines what institutions are and how they become autonomous, and also offers new insights into institution-specific dynamics of ecology, structure and culture, and stratification.
