Summary
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Institutional Grammar (IG), an approach for analysing the design of institutions. To lay the foundation for the application of the "Grammar" for different application areas, the book first provides a background of the IG, before motivating the introduction of an updated version of the Institutional Grammar, called the Institutional Grammar 2.0 that aims at representing institutions more comprehensively and with greater validity. The book then turns to applications and introduces methodological guidance alongside expositions of emerging analytical applications of "Grammar" that include presentations of current practice, as well as developing novel analytical opportunities that analysts of diverse disciplinary backgrounds and interest can apply or build upon for their application. Christopher K. Frantz is Associate Professor of Computational Social Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. His research focuses on computational approaches to institutional analysis, with specific focus on modelling techniques to facilitate behavioral and structural analyses of institutional arrangements. A conceptual refinement introduced as part of his work is the systematic application of nesting principles, enhancing the Institutional Grammars ability to capture institutions of arbitrary structural complexity. Saba Siddiki is Associate Professor of Public Administration and International Affairs at Syracuse University, USA. Her research focuses on institutional design, particularly, policy design. She studies the structure/content of policy design and the behavioral and policy implications of policy design. Siddiki has specifically focused on empirically validating the use of the Institutional Grammar for measuring policy-relevant concepts and expanding the syntactic structure upon which the Institutional Grammar is based.
