Abstract:Groundbreaking and all-encompassing, The Institutional Order studies institutions from their inception and then compares one to another. Explaining the process behind the function of institutions, this text analytically isolates the basic and fundamental processes within and among social institutions. Professor Turner treats different historical epochs as well as various regions of the world so students can better understand what distinguishes institutions. Comprehensive coverage includes examination of the emergence of social institutions from their beginnings to their present profile in addition to an in-depth presentation of ethnographic, historical, and contemporary data to illustrate the dynamics of institutions and the relationship of institutional systems to others.
