Abstract

From Pages 2-3:
"This paper focuses on the dynamics of institutions in an attempt to identify some of the main variables that affect institutional stability and change. I will begin by introducing some of the main processes contributing to institutional stability, opposed to the factors that can introduce change at a particular level of the institutional structure. A description of the main patterns of change will follow. I will then propose a framework to study institutional change which identifies a dynamic sequence of stages driven by multi-actor interaction processes. The last section will conclude with some questions for future research."
