Institutional change and the evolution of the regulatory state: Evidence from the Swiss case

ArticlePublisher: 2014Description: p.276-297.Subject(s): Organizational change
In:
International Review of Administrative SciencesSummary: This article examined institutional change in a case that was expected to be particularly resilient but showed considerable structural transformations: the institutionalization of the regulatory state in Switzerland. This process is illustrated through the establishment of independent regulatory agencies (IRAs) in four areas: banking and finance; telecommunications; electricity; and competition. The theoretical framework developed by Streeck, Thelen and Mahoney is used to explore hypotheses about the modes of institutional change, with the methodology of diachronic within-case study. Results confirm only partially the expectations, pointing to layering and displacement as the prevalent modes of change. The concluding part discusses the type and the direction of change as additional explanatory factors. - Reproduced.
