Journal Article
The Old Institutionalism and the New
2008
Overview
Within this discourse, a focus on the state may be the means of pulling the conversation back to matters of power, or it may be just another \"conceptual variable,\" no different in weight from religion or ethnicity, and thus more fodder for the mill of cultural analysts.2 A third argument pits those who study electoral politics--voter behavior, party formation, correlations between legislative outcomes--against those who stress the importance of administration. At its extreme, such an approach could lead to absurd claims as Herbert Baxter Adams's theory that American democracy originated in the sixth-century institutions of the Teutonic forest.5 What has intervened since that first wave of institutionalism is almost a century of intellectual and cultural history, during which historians have increasingly regarded the state as an implementer of cultural or political programs, not as an autonomous Creature From the Black Lagoon.
