Managing "Modernity"

"Managing "Modernity" engages a variety of intellectual perspectives in the social sciences. The theoretical framework serves to discover the logics and consequences of four ideal-typical institution-building strategies: modernist, traditionalist, revolutionary, and syncretist. The theoretical approach represents a conscious effort to overcome the contentious debates in political science and sociology among proponents of historical institutionalism, cultural analysis, and rational choice theory. The substantive argument draws on concepts and findings from comparative politics, economic sociology, industrial relations, organization theory, business management, and the political economy of Japan and Russia.". "The eclectic and integrative approach in Managing "Modernity" promises to offer a fresh and provocative contribution to the ongoing debates over the significance and impact of "globalization." It will influence scholars and graduate students across a variety of disciplines and subfields, offering compelling insights about the social forces that facilitate or hinder the diffusion of ideas and institutions across national boundaries."--BOOK JACKET.
