Understanding Institutional Weakness : Power and Design in Latin American Institutions PDF
by Daniel M. Brinks, Steven Levitsky, Maria Victoria Murillo
- Information
Description
This Element introduces the concept of institutional weakness, arguing that weakness or strength is a function of the extent to which an institution actually matters to social, economic or political outcomes.
It then presents a typology of three forms of institutional weakness: insignificance, in which rules are complied with but do not affect the way actors behave; non-compliance, in which state elites either choose not to enforce the rules or fail to gain societal cooperation with them; and instability, in which the rules are changed at an unusually high rate.
The Element then examines the sources of institutional weakness.
