Description
Summary:In this article, the author stresses the evolution of the concept “institution” and institutional studies in social sciences. In recent decades, there has been an explosion of institutions analysis and research: their origin, evolution and social influence. These efforts have updated the debate about the achievements and limitations of institutional approaches, and the challenge to advance an institutions interdisciplinary theory. This paper hopes to contribute to this debate from the reconstruction of the evolution of the term “institutions”: its historical origins and main developments to date, the emergence of contemporary approaches, and the main achievements and problems of institutional approaches. The study highlights the fact that, although the heterogeneity and limitations of the institutional approaches, it is possible to construct a shared theoretical field about institutions in social analysis.
