Ph.d.seminar:The State of the Art in Institutional Analysis

The State of the Art in Institutional Analysis

This seminar will present lectures on the state of the art in institutional analysis by several senior scholars from the United States and Europe who have worked in various traditions within institutional analysis for many years. Each will give a lecture on the state of the art from their own theoretical and methodological perspective. Each will also participate in discussions of work-in-progress papers from PhD students attending the conference and who are using institutional analysis in their work. The conference will be organized so as to facilitate as much discussion among participants as possible. Insofar as students are concerned, it will also involve the reading and discussion of each other’s work. An extensive set of references to relevant scholarly work will also be made available in advance to students attending the conference.

Faculty presenters include the following:

Professor Edgar Kiser, Department of Sociology, University of Washington.

Professor Sven Steinmo, Department of Political Science, University of Colorado.

Professor John L. Campbell, Department of Sociology, Dartmouth College and International Center for Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School.

Professor Ove K. Pedersen, Director, InternationalCenter for Business and Politics, CopenhagenBusinessSchool.
