Abstract International Politics and Institutions in Time features pioneering international relations (IR) scholars exploring the contributions that historical institutionalism offers their field. They set the agenda for explorations of a tradition whose promise looms large for understanding how states in the twenty-first century manage an international system that was partly designed for a different era. Orfeo Fioretos situates the origins and evolution of historical institutionalism within IR. Stephen D. Krasner discusses the evolution of institutions associated with state sovereignty, and Henry Farrell and Martha Finnemore examine how international institutions mitigate the absence of a global state. G. John Ikenberry analyzes how institutions shape the rise and fall of global orders, while Joseph Jupille, Walter Mattli, and Duncan Snidal discuss how states choose among established institutional alternatives. Abraham Newman explores mechanisms that reproduce and at times undermine institutions of global regulatory cooperation, and Tine Hanrieder and Michael Zürn look at mechanisms shaping global health governance. Kathryn Sikkink revisits understandings of the origins of the global human rights regime; Eric Helleiner the foundations of the Bretton Woods system; and Karen J. Alter the proliferation of international courts. Etel Solingen and Wilfred Wan demonstrate the effects of path-dependence in shaping international security strategies and cooperation; Manuela Moschella and Catherine Weaver the effects for global economic cooperation; Judith Goldstein and Robert Gulotty for the international trade regime; and Steven Bernstein and Hamish van der Ven for international environmental cooperation. Robert O. Keohane concludes the volume with a vigorous assessment of historical institutional research in IR.
International Politics and Institutions in Time
The Rise, Character, and Evolution of International Order
Historical institutionalism offers original ways of thinking about the origins, evolution, and consequences of political institutions—including international order. This chapter argues that a "rise and decline" theory of international order based solely on the distribution of power is inadequate. The idea that leading states periodically have found themselves in a position to build or at least shape international order is not in dispute. But the …
Dynamics of Institutional Choice
When do actors Use available institutions, Select among alternative forums, Change existing rules, or Create new arrangements? In this chapter the authors present their theory of boundedly rational institutional choice (uscc) which connects a wide range of institutional theories in arguing that institutional choice is driven by the interaction of cooperation problems and the institutional status quo. USCC theory accounts for the dynamics of insti…
Institutions and Time in International Relations
Historical institutionalism makes important contributions to the study of International Relations, including providing more complete and nuanced explanations of the factors that contribute to the origins of and sources behind diverse patterns of stability and change in international institutions. As a tradition of political analysis exploring how temporal phenomena such as path dependence, critical junctures, and endogenous feedback effects impac…
