A Critical Realist Approach To Institutional Entrepreneurship
针对制度分析中如何同时考虑行动者能动性与结构影响而不混淆的问题，基于批判实在论提出了一个非混淆的制度创业模型，并通过案例说明。
Recent works in institutional analysis have challenged the traditional deterministic view, whereby institutional pressures explain actors’ actions and behaviours, and have called for the restoration of agency to this analysis. This presents institutional analysis with a major challenge: how to consider simultaneously the influence of both actors’ actions and the structures in which they are embedded, without conflating them? This issue is especially crucial when trying to analyse institutional entrepreneurs’ strategies. In this paper, we outline a non-conflating model of institutional entrepreneurship, by drawing on critical realism. We illustrate this model by mean of an illustrative case study.
