<br/><br/>Part I.A Theory of Institutions; Part II. Implications of the Theory. 
<br/><br/> Nations undergoing rapid economic growth require new institutions-both formal organizations and informal modes of interpersonal behavior. John Powelson develops a theory of institution-building to explain how nations choose such institutions, what kinds they prefer and why, and in what ways the institutions' effectiveness (essentially, their conflict-resolving capacity) may be measured. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton Univer.
