Abstract:
|
This is a slightly revised version of an article I published in 1991 (Ove K. Pedersen,
1991, “Nine Questions to a Neo-Institutional Theory in Political Science”,
Scandinavian Political Studies, vol. 14, no. 2, p. 125-148). The purpose of the article 16
years ago is the same as the purpose of presenting this note today - to point to a number
of methodological and theoretical problems which have to be discussed in connection
with a theory of institutional change. No analytical approach for the study of institutions
will be presented. No description of actual institutions or institutional change will be
given. Rather, nine philosophical-methodological questions rarely raised and never
answered in institutional theory will be asked. |
