| Publisher Description: Institutionalism (published in 2007) captured a good deal of the literature at the time it was published; however, there have beennumerous excellent contributions to the literature since that time. These newer contributions merit another readily-available collection, along with some commentary on their contributions and their linkages to the earlier literature on institutionalism. This latest offering also examines some of the avenues left unexplored the first time around. This second collection comprises three volumes. Volume One: Developing Institutional Theory collects together papers representing developments in the various approaches to institutionalism contained in the first series of volumes. Volume Two: New Research Agendas addresses new recent strands of development in institutional namely Discursive Institutionalism, Institutionalization and Micro-foundations of Institutional Behaviour. Volume Three: Applying Institutional Theory looks at the empirical applications of the developments in theoretical approaches. These empirical analyses not only demonstrate the insights that institutionalism can provide but also help in the further development of the theory. |
