The role of temporality in institutional stabilization: A process view
- Abstract:
- The emerging processual view of institutions has eroded the assumption of institutional stability in favor of a more dynamic view of institutions as ongoing processes, thereby foregrounding the question of institutional stabilization. Grounded in a process ontology, we conceptualize institutions as ever-becoming yet enduring social processes that are meaningful and carry prescriptions for actors’ legitimate participation. Building on this conceptualization, we develop a theoretical model of the role of temporality in institutional stabilization that explores how three dimensions of institutions (meaning, prescriptions, participation) are each stabilized by a facet of temporality (temporal patterns, expectancies, mechanisms), as well as factors affecting each of these links. Our arguments contribute to writing on institutions in relation to temporality, agency and process.
