INSTITUTIONAL DESIGN AND DEMOCRATIC INNOVATIONS
Synopsis
Institutions shape, constrain, and influence our social lives, making it possible for behavior to be stable, recurrent, repetitive, and patterned in many areas of our private and public lives: family and kinship institutions, educational, economic, political, cultural, and stratification institutions. Now, to speak of institutional design is to speak of an intentional social change, which is challenged by different models of social transformation: accident, evolution, and intention.
Since the end of the last century, Robert E. Goodin has promoted academic and interdisciplinary study of institutional design, and his contributions have been foundational for this discipline in our time. That is why the objective of this book is to reflect on institutions and their reach in the Ibero-American context; on possible new approaches to institutional design to support and strengthen our democracies; on the current challenges facing institutional design and also to pay attention to two areas of design that are often overshadowed in academia: the design of scientific and cultural institutions, and urban design.
