New institutionalism as an important institutionalist approach in political science was established by several American scholars in the nineteen eighties, then being concerned to a degree by many political researchers as the most popular research paradigm. New institutionalism in political science not only renews the theoretical content of political studies, but also extends the political sci- ence＇s research fields, making great contribution to theory construction of political institutions. This article surveys the emergence path of new institutionalism, examines many theoretical works written by institutionalist researchers, then overviews the theoretical and analytical values from the perspectives of political studies＂ own position, of inner debates and power base, and of integration of new institutionalism in political science.
