In this important book, Jepperson and Meyer show how modern individuals, organizations and states are constructed from cultural models. They delineate and carefully elaborate a compelling theoretical account that spans multiple levels of analysis and provides illuminating insights into contemporary world society and its cultural-institutional framework.'

Bringing together key articles and new reflections, this volume collects the essential theoretical ideas of 'sociological neoinstitutionalism.' It clarifies the core ideas and situates them within social theory writ large. Among other topics, the authors discuss the changing nature of the “actors” that have operated within contemporary social structure. The book concludes with the evolving frameworks that have structured social activity in the post–World War II period of 'embedded liberalism,' in the more recent neoliberal period, and in an emergent post-liberal period that appears to be a radical departure.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eCredits\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
