Description: "Creating a clear, analytical framework for readers, Institutions and Organizations: Ideas and Interests, Third Edition continues to reflect the richness and diversity of institutional thought, viewed both historically and as a contemporary, ongoing field of study. By presenting the differences as well as the underlying commonalities of institutional theories, this book presents a cohesive view of the many flavors and colors of institutionalism. It evaluates and clarifies developments in both theory and research while identifying future research directions. New to the Third Edition: Elaborates on the three pillars of institutions as part of a larger framework and sheds light on the interplay between institutions and social systems."--Publisher description (LoC).
