Neoinstitucionalismo, ¿opción ante la elección racional? una discusión entre la economía y la sociología

Abstract

THIS ARTICLE SEEKS TO EXPLORE NEOINSTITUTIONALISTIC PROPOSALS REGARDING THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE RATIONAL ACTOR IN ECONOMICS. IT PROVIDES THEORETICAL OPTIONS BASED ON A PERSPECTIVE OF ACTORS PRESSURED BY STRUCTURES, WHICH LEND MEANING TO THEIR SITUATION AND INTERACT WITH THE FIELD OF ECONOMICS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ARTICLE ALSO ENGAGES IN A DIALOGUE WITH ECO-NOMIC SOCIOLOGY, WHOSE CONCEPT OF "EMBEDDED" IS CONSIDERED INSUFFICIENT. IT PROPOSES A NOTION OF "CONFIGURATION" WHICH CAN BE APPLIED TO SOCIAL RELATIONS, THE STRUCTURE OF THEORY AND THE PROCESS OF CONFERRING MEANING.
