Social Change and Institutions
Katharina Bluhm
Kommentar
The class aims to provide students with a thorough foundation in the social science scholarship on institutional change covering both its evolutionary (path dependency) and revolutionary aspects (institutional breakdowns, critical junctures and bricolages). The class introduces major schools of institutionalist thought and discusses how they interpret social change. The fact that institutions can be both formal and informal makes creating a comprehensive theory of institutional change particularly difficult. Informal institutions are of great importance for both the functioning and change of formal institutions. Moreover, in some societies, informal institutions play a more important role for “getting things done” than in others. A somewhat simplified way of classifying societies in terms of the importance of informal institutions is the “North-South” gap, or the difference between liberal market societies and democracies vs. less advanced or authoritarian countries. The seminar explores the theoretical reasoning behind the existing empirical findings on institutional change. It enables its participants to apply various scholarly concepts for studying and discussing specific cases of the interaction of formal and informal institutions, as well as blocked and accelerated change.
