The article examines the interpretation of vertical restraints in Chicago, post-Chicago and New Institutional Economics approaches, as well as the reflection of these approaches in the application of antitrust laws. The main difference between neoclassical and new institutional analysis of vertical restraints is that the former compares the results of their use with market organization outcomes, and assesses mainly horizontal effects, while the latter focuses on the analysis of vertical effects, comparing the results of vertical restraints application with hierarchical organization. Accordingly, the evaluation of vertical restraints impact on competition differs radically. The approach of the New Institutional Theory of the firm seems fruitful for Russian markets.

The study examined the interrelations between policymakers’ intentions for test-based accountability policy, and school agents’ perceptions and actions with regard to this policy. Mixed-methods were used and encompassed 24 policymakers, 80 school principals, 168 teachers and case studies of four schools. New institutional theory, including the concept of “environmental shift” (Powell & Di Maggio, 1991) and the metaphor of “coupling” (Weick, 1976), served as the conceptual framework. Findings indicate that the interrelations between intentions, perceptions and actions are mainly tightly coupled. These are discussed by invoking three types of institutional isomorphism (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983): coercive, mimetic and normative.

Over Time

This article analyses participants’ reasoning for their city’s membership in transnational municipal networks and the extent to which this changes over time. Theoretically, we build on new-institutional theory and conclude that although parts of the members’ reasoning have rational components, a discursive institutional perspective improves the understanding of cities’ membership of transnational municipal networks. This perspective uncovers how important aspects of transnational municipal network participation are motivated by a different logic than that of measurable output. Cities use transnational municipal networks as sources of internal and external legitimacy, to legitimatise their position in domestic politics and their international position among other ‘global’ cities.

AbstractLocal settings have not been central to the debate on educational inequality. If researchers have taken neighborhoods into account, they have focused on (social) compositions, peer group effects, or school access. Yet I draw on interviews and observations at two Berlin schools to suggest that neighborhoods are also important as they shape the organizational practices of teachers and other educational professionals. Combining a Bourdieusian perspective and new institutional theory, I show how local settings become important as social, symbolic, and administrative units. As such, neighborhoods structure the interplay of institutional pressures and objective power relations both within and between schools. This perspective not only allows for a better understanding of the processes producing educational inequality; it also highlights that institutional changes might play out differently in different contexts, with consequences for neighborhood inequality in the field of education and beyond.

The basis of discussion on antitrust policy — the property rights theory — is identified in the article. The author analyses both some aspects of the new institutional theory and value judgments that are used in defining goals of state economic policy. He concludes that the tasks of antitrust policy should be changed and proposes some directions for such correction.

Subak Babakan Bayu is a social institution that is in the midst of growth in Bali’s tourism industry, but Subak Babakan Bayu is able to maintain its existence as an executor of ritual activities, irrigation water management, buffering food security, environmental preservation and culture in a sustainable manner. The purpose of this research is to understand the organizational system of Subak Babakan Bayu. This research is a qualitative study using an ethnographic approach. The research location was in Sangkaragung Village, Jembrana District, Jembrana Regency, Bali. Data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. The technique of determining the subject of research using purposive sampling and using data analysis techniques include domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, compound analysis, and cultural theme analysis. The theory used is the social system theory from Niklass Luhmann and the new institutional theory (new institutional theory) from William Richard Scott. The results of this study indicate that the organizational system of the Subak Babakan Bayu organization has three basic elements that make the subak institution strong, namely the regulatory system including awig-awig, and perarem. The normative system is the norm of responsibility and justice, and the cognitive cultural system that includes beliefs, traditions and rituals. In its implementation, there are some obstacles but the social system is able to heal itself so that Subak Babakan Bayu still exists.
