Mechanisms of IsomorphismGRIN Verlag, 2008 - 28 Seiten Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 2,3, Bielefeld University (Fakultät für Soziologie), course: Grundrechte, 21 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This essay analyzes the question why the military regime of Myanmar recently makes efforts to give the country a constitution, although it used especially the missing of a constitution for a stabilization of its power and would limit it through an installation of a constitution and the included basic rights. For a reply to this question I raise the new institutionalist "world polity" approach of John W. Meyer, which is suitable to explain this apparently contradictory proceeding and also makes the political proceedings of the country in the past more distinct. |
