Description: Beyond Continuity by Wolfgang Streeck, Kathleen Thelen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Examines theories of institutional change, and highlights their limitations. This title shows that models of institutional change exist which can be meaningfully distinguished and analytically compared. It presents a typology of modes of institutional change that offer insights on mechanisms of social and political stability, and evolution. Publisher Description Debates surrounding institutional change have become increasingly central to Political Science, Management Studies, and Sociology, opposing the role of globalization in bringing about a convergence of national economies and institutions on one model to theories about Varieties of Capitalism.This book brings together a distinguished set of contributors from a variety of disciplines to examine current theories of institutional change. Thechapters highlight the limitations of these theories, finding them lacking in the analytic tools necessary to identify the changes occurring at a national level, and therefore tend to explain many changesand innovation as simply another version of previous situations.Instead a model emerges of contemporary political economies developing in incremental but cumulatively transformative processes. The contributors show that a wide, but not infinite, variety of models of institutional change exist which can meaningfully distinguished and analytically compared. They offer an empirically grounded typology of modes of institutional change that offer important insights onmechanisms of social and political stability, and evolution generally.Beyond Continuity provides a more complex and fundamental understanding of institutional change, and will be importantreading for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Political Science, Management Studies, Sociology, and Economics.
