Theory of Institutional Design
«'The Theory of Institutional Design is required reading for the many people, in many fields, who are interested in the effects of institutions on social life. It is an exceptionally good introduction to the field, and because the interdisciplinary essays are state-of-the-art, it is an important and original contribution as well.' Cass Sunstein, University of Chicago»
Problems of institutional design and redesign, structuring and restructuring, acquired particular poignancy through recent developments from eastern Europe to southern Africa. At the same time, scholars in each of several disciplines - political science, economics, sociology, history and philosophy - have increasingly come to appreciate the important independent role that is, and should be, played by institutional factors in social life.

«'Institutional analysis is central to the contemporary social sciences, but is still not adequately understood. Robert Goodin has advanced that understanding with this book on institutional design. The book integrates the approaches of several social science disciplines and relates those approaches to fundamental theoretical and normative questions. Professor Goodin raises a number of questions about the possibilities of the purposive design of institutions, and the process of institutionalization. This is a major contribution to the literature that should be read by all students of social and political theory.' B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh»
