Accounts are provided of external agents disturbing the existing stasis of the institution and transforming the institution into something else that reflect a new paradigm or set of interests. Often, what is neglected in these accounts is what fractures exist in the original institution that would make them vulnerable and allow penetration by exogenous influences. Mahoney and Thelen (20 l 0) went beyond a general model of change that described the collapse of one set of institutional norms to be replaced by another. The model of change they propose takes into account both exogenous as well as endogenous factors as being the source of institutional change. They went on to state a view that transformation change as being a result of abrupt, wholesale breakdown needs to be rethought to include incremental, endogenous shifts in thinking that can often result in fundamental transformations.展开更多

Before reform and opening-up in 1978, China's rural reform was primarily a mandatory process, and after 1978, it became an induced process. In the future, rural institutional transformation still enjoys a broad prospect and must be deepened, and the focus is to advance the relocation of rural surplus labor, establish a land use system and improve rural public services. Institutional urbanrural divide must be eliminated to promote integrated socioeconomic development of urban and rural areas.展开更多

Although this phenomenon is well established in pluralist democracies, it is an important factor in the process of democratization in some developing economies and a panacea for enduring Industrial Relations (IR) in many transformational economies. This paper contributes to this issue in Nigeria (as an example of a transformation economy) by focusing on the industrial relations characteristics that are being developed in the country. These characteristics are being highlighted by further investigating the emerging contextual issues which have significant contribution to the effectiveness of industrial relations and thus raising the floor for employee rights/voice/democracy in the work environment. Furthermore, the paper is based on the analysis from 12 companies with well-established IR practices and who are also key players in the Nigeria Employers' Consultative Association (NECA). The evidence from the empirical findings suggests that despite globalization, employee rights have specific country orientation (acquiring new contours) and thus reflecting the socio-economic and cultural predisposition which is common with many transformation economies.展开更多
