THE ORIGINAL INSTITUTIONALISM AS A SCHOOL OF POLITICAL ECONOMICS

Öz

With the Great Recession of 2008-09, a regulation-theoretic agenda, albeit ambigious, has come to the fore. In the field of political economy, it is principally the original institutionalism that bases its premises upon a constraint-theoretic regulation of economic institutions. This paper, in this context, aims first to examine the methodological and theoretical space of original institutionalism in the wider discipline of political economy with particular reference to its points of divergence from the new and rational choice institutionalism, and then to investigate its rudiments in terms of the systemic interactions between the building blocks of a politico-economic regime ranging from norm-contingent economic development to business cycles and innovation.

BİR POLİTİK İKTİSAT OKULU OLARAK ORİJİNAL KURUMSALCILIK

Öz

2008-09 Büyük Resesyonu” ile birlikte devlet-piyasa ilişkilerinin kamu kesimi tarafından uygulanacak kısıtlarla düzenlenmesinin gerekliliğini vurgulayan teorik ve pratik bir gündem önplana çıkmıştır. Politik iktisat yazınında iktisadi kurumların kısıt (constraint) merkezli kamusal regülasyonunu formüle eden ana akım orjinal tarihselci okuldur. Bu çalışma, bu anlamda, iki temel amacı gerçekleştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Birincisi orijinal tarihsel kurumsalcı okulun politik iktisat okulları içerisindeki metodolojik ve teorik önemini yeni ve rasyonel tercih kurumsalcılıklarından farklılılaşan yönlerini önplana çıkaran bir yaklaşımla incelemektir. İkincisi ise orijinal kurumsalcı okulun temel politika önermelerini norm-koşullu iktisadi kalkınmadan iş çevrimleri ve inovasyona kadar uzanan bir kapsamda ve bir ekonomi politik yapının temel bileşenleri arasındaki sistemik etkileşimler temelinde analiz etmektir.
