NEO-INSTITUTIONAL THEORY IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL SCIENCE. REVIEW PAPER

Summary/Abstract: Neo-institutionalism is one of the most influential streams of research in the social sciencesin recent decades. Unlike traditional (old) institutionalism, which focused on formal organizationalstructures, neo-institutionalism broadens the research perspective to include different types of insti-tutions and their impact on individuals and societies. This theory focuses on analyzing how formaland informal institutions (social norms, rules, and beliefs) shape the behavior of individuals andgroups, influence economic, social, and political processes, and evolve in response to changingcircumstances. The article discusses the main theoretical assumptions of neo-institutionalism and itsrelevance for analyzing contemporary social phenomena.
