Concept information
Preferred term
comparative institutionalism
Definition
- In comparative politics, like in other subfields of political science, the starting point of the contemporary institutionalist scholarship is the idea of “bringing the state back in,” which became a rallying cry in the 1980s. Reacting to intellectual trends such as Marxism and system theory, this type of scholarship emphasized state autonomy and the structuring role of state institutions (i.e., formal and informal norms and rules) in political life.
