This book contributes to emerging debates in political science and
sociology on institutional change. Its introductory essay proposes a
new framework for analyzing incremental change that is grounded in a
power-distributional view of institutions and that emphasizes ongoing
struggles within but also over prevailing institutional arrangements.
Five empirical essays then bring the general theory to life by
evaluating its causal propositions in the context of sustained
analyses of specific instances of incremental change. These essays
range widely across substantive topics and across times and places,
including cases from the United States, Africa, Latin America, and
Asia. The book closes with a chapter reflecting on the possibilities
for productive exchange in the analysis of change among scholars
associated with different theoretical approaches to institutions.
