Talk:Institutionalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] school of thought

Institutionalism is a school of thought that crosses several disciplines with several different variations, though it is most common in economics and the study of politics. I think we can all agree that the current article follows a much too specific definition of institutionalism and needs to be expanded. Currently it is like describing a single mountain when one is in fact searching for information on an entire mountain range.

  • The article confuses institutions (i.e., the social organizations, ways of doing things, habits of thought, etc. being studied) with institutionalism (i.e., an approach to the study and analysis of the behavior of economic, legal and social systems). It is less a disambiguation page, and more a prejudicial slant (POV). It needs extensive rework.Fconaway 06:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


I thought institutionalism is an economic school of thought:

  1. [1]
  2. [2]

I know that institutionalism used to be major American economic school, although it has gone out of fashion. Galbraith is one of the big names. Is the theory, which this article talks about related to this, or something different altogether. There is also an article, New Institutionalism. Is this different? I don't really know enough about this stuff to try fixing the article.

[edit] French articles

Hi,

These French articles refer to the same topic as the previous subject :

  1. Frenchfr:Institutionnalisme (stub & somewhat disambiguation)
  2. Frenchfr:Institutionnalisme américain (full content) about economics.
  3. Frenchfr:Institutionnalisme néolibéral translation of Neoliberalism (international relations) about diplomacy.
  4. Frenchfr:Nouvelle économie institutionnelle translation for New Institutionalism.

Could you propose new articles for the lacking interwiki links ?

Yours,
