Understanding Institutional Endurance: The Role of Dynamic Form, Harmony, and Rhythm in Institutions
指出新制度主义文献存在理性认知偏见和制度定义中自主性与外部性来源不明的问题，提出从美学视角将制度视为具有和谐与节奏等美学特质的社会过程，这些特质通过感知体验影响制度的再生产。
With this article I hope to contribute to a more adequate explanation of institutional endurance. I argue that current explanations in the neoinstitutional literature suffer from two problems. The first is a rational-cognitive bias coupled with an overemphasis on the role of actors. The second is the unexplained source of autonomy and externality in the definition of institutions. I propose to solve these problems by introducing an aisthetic perspective on institutional endurance. This perspective should not replace but, rather, supplement existing models and theories. The aisthetic perspective conceptualizes institutions as social processes with aisthetic qualities, such as harmony and rhythm. These aisthetic qualities can be felt and perceived, resulting in a positive or negative experience of the institution that, in turn, promotes its reproduction (or not).
