The heterogeneity and pluralism of institutionalism: a contribution to the debate

Abstract: The objective of this work was to point out some aspects of convergence and divergence among some authors established in the field of institutionalism that analyzed the role of institutions in society and its evolution through time. Specifically, it aims at identifying how the nature, functioning, and evolution of institutions are portrayed. It is a theoretical research, having as a field of analysis the selection of recurrent texts in (neo) institutionalism.
