Altered States: International Relations, Domestic Politics, and Institutional Change

Editat de Andrew P. Cortell, Susan Peterson Contribuţii de Eva Busza, Jeffrey T. Checkel, Lisa Conant, Darren Hawkins, C S. Eliot Kang, David Richards, Martin J. Smith, Christopher Wenk
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2003
Challenging dominant assumptions in international relations, Altered States demonstrates that national political institutions change more frequently_and less dramatically_than is commonly thought and with important consequences for the political landscape. Combining theory with solid empirical research_including archival evidence and interviews_the contributors explore the causes and consequences of institutional transformation in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe, Russia and the former Soviet Republics, and Cuba. Altered States highlights the dynamic and interactive relationship between national political institutions and reform-minded policy entrepreneurs, a perspective that will interest scholars and policy makers alike.

Recenzii

Altered States is an important study of the sources of institutional change. It rightly focuses on advancing our understanding of incremental change and intentional design. The rich variety of empirical examples highlight the important consequences of institutional reforms.
[This book] will open many avenues for conducting new research into a field of international relations and comparative politics, and will further sharpen our understanding of the politics of this world in which institutions clearly "matter."
Over the years scholars of international and comparative politics have made great progress in understanding the impact of state structures and institutions on foreign and domestic policy. They often associated dramatic changes in policy with prior institutional changes, yet left open the key question of when and why instituttions themselves change. In this pathbreaking volume, Andrew Cortell and Susan Peterson have assembled a collection of high-quality essays addressing this question in a wide range of issue-areas and with a geographical scope that encompasses the European Union, the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Cuba, the United States, Britain, and Japan. The chapters are theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich, and the volume as a whole constitutes an important advance in our understanding of institutional change.
