Abstract:	"This article undertakes critical engagement with accounts of institutional emergence and change which are conceived as a problem of collective action. I discuss the potential and limitations of contemporary accounts based on collective action and suggest seeking a more realistic theoretical account that centers the role of power in crafting institutions, and conceives of institutions as being designed not through collective action but conflict."
