These institutions are the invisible kit that makes social order prevail. Herranen shows by a detailed and scholarly analysis that institutions, as relationally emerging phenomena, are the backbone of the social fabric. The timely book is a novel and valuable contribution to social theory, and the usefulness of the theoretical analysis is applied to the contemporary capitalistic society." —Patrik Aspers, Chair of Sociology, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland "The problem of social order, how humans unconsciously coordinate, is perhaps the central problem of social theory, dividing, for example, historical Institutionalists from scholars of ideas and ideology. Herranen seeks to reconcile these disparate views, and he does so by rehabilitating Parsonian functionalism by embedding it in a relational ontology. |
