Political Evolution and Institutional Change Bo Rothstein and Sven Steinmo, editors Exploring the dynamic relationships among political institutions, attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes, this series is problem-driven and pluralistic in methodology. It examines the evolution of governance, public policy, and political economy in different national and historical contexts.

It will promote cutting-edge work in historical institutionalism, rational choice, and game theory, and the processes of institutional change and/or evolutionary models of political history.
