Abstract

This study has the purpose to analyze the implications between institutional change and institutionalization. It departs from the assumption that some institutional change theories provide through different framework perspectives to explain and analyze the different strengths and challenges of the institutionalization processes. The methods used are the meta-cognitive analytical descriptive based on the conceptual, theoretical, and analytical literature review. As it had been assumed, the study concludes in that institutional change theoretical frameworks lead to provide the intellectual tools to describe, explain, and analyze the strengths and challenges posed by the institutionalization processes.

Institutional Change

Institutional change is the process of creating new institutions, replacing, and adjusting existing ones to changing social and bio-physical conditions (Zikos, 2020). The analysis of the conditions of change institutions are facilitated by the institutionalism theoretical framework aimed to explain institutional change (Campbell, 2004, 1998). Institutional change grounds on new institutions or adapting the existent ones to respond to crisis, although is questionable its legitimization, which in turn may legitimize the emergence of rules contradicting the institutions of crisis response (Vatn, 2005; Vatn, 2015b).
