Social scientists have been increasingly concerned with the ways in which social and political institutions shape the patterns of individual interactions that produce social phenomena and with the ways in which those institutions emerge from such interactions. This series is devoted to the exploration of the more normative aspects of these issues. Theories of Institutional Design, published in association with the Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, both in the institutions on which it focuses, and in the methodologies used to study them.
