Synopsis

This two-volume work is intended to map the theoretical heartland of the institutionalist perspective on political economy.

The papers included in Volume II, "Institutional Theory and Policy", consider basic economic processes, institutions for stabilizing and planning economic activities, the role of power and accountability, and emerging global interdependence. Marc R. Tool is the editor of "Journal of Economic Issues".
