With regard to each of these outcomes, Ferrara synthesizes "power-based" or "power-distributional" explanations and "ideas-based" "legitimation explanations." Among his more significant contributions, he specifies the psychological "microfoundations" of processes of institutional development, drawing heavily from the findings of experimental psychology to ensure that the explanation is grounded in clear and realistic assumptions regarding human motivation, cognition, and behavior. Aside from being of interest to scholars and graduate students in political science and other social-scientific disciplines whose research concentrates on the genesis of political institutions, their evolution over time, and/or their impact on the stability of political order and the quality of governance, the book may feature as required reading in graduate courses and seminars in comparative politics where the study of institutions and their development ranks among the subfield's most important subjects"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political development $x History. 650 0 $a Political development $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Political development $x Cross-cultural studies. 650 7 $a Political development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069278 655 7 $a Cross-cultural studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423769 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ferrara, Federico. $t Development of political institutions $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2022 $z 9780472129652 $w (DLC) 2021038208 830 0 $a Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=650AC3B6DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
