Cambridge University Press Structuring Politics
Book SynopsisThese essays demonstrate how the 'historical institutional' approach to the study of politics reveals the nature of institutional change and its effect on policy making.Trade Review"More than just a collection of essays, Structuring Politics is a showcase revealing how historically-grounded institutional analysis can push forward the frontiers of comparative politics. The authors use a diverse and rich subject matter to show, not simply that 'institutions matter,' but how they matter in shaping--and being shaped by--the political process over time." Hugh Heclo, George Mason University"Structuring Politics achieves a rare degree of intellectual coherence in the diverse empirical material it covers. Its succinct statement, sophisticated refinement, and imaginative extension of the historical institutional perspective enriches greatly our understanding of the study of politics." Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University"...a well-organized, consistently excellent set of research articles, all of which provide new insights and data." Thomas A. Koelble, Comparative PoliticsTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Historical institutionalism in comparative politics Kathleen Thelen and Sven Steinmo; 2. Labor market institutions and working class strength Bo Rothstein; 3. The rules of the game: the logic of health policy-making in France, Switzerland, and Sweden Ellen Immergut; 4. The movement from Keynesianism to monetarism Peter A. Hall; 5. Political structure, state policy, and industrial change: early railroad policy in the United States and Prussia Colleen A. Dunlavy; 6.
