Institutional change is a central driving force behind social changes, and thus a central topic in all major fields of social sciences. Yet, no general theory of institutional change exists. Drawing from a diverse literature, this book develops a general theory of institutional change, based on a social evolutionary synthesis of the conflict approach and the harmony approach. The book argues that because the whole process of institutional change can be understood as a process of selecting a few ideas and turning them into institutions, competition of ideas and struggle for power to make rules are often at the heart of institutional change. The general theory not only integrates more specific theories and insights on institutional change that have been scattered in different fields into a coherent general theory but also provides fundamental new insights and points to new directions for future research. This book makes a fundamental contribution to all major fields of social sciences: sociology (sociological theory), political sciences, institutional economics, and political theory. It should be of general interest to scholars and students in all major fields of social science.

總結文獻部分很enlightening,對自己理論的解釋力的解讀也算是有理有據。之所以扣瞭一分大概是因為general theory總會有大而無當之嫌,換句話說就是以我粗淺的水平還沒看懂有什麼更大的implication。 讀完最後一章覺得其實這是全書最好的部分……
評分民科大佬的力作~相信時間會證明它的無用。
評分唐老師的這本書,還是比較易懂的。其中部分內容可見《社會科學的基礎範式》。
