Alston, NBER, USA and Bernardo Mueller, University of Brasília, Brazil ‘The Handbook on Institutions and Complexity is a vital resource for any practitioner of modern political economy and social theory. Young scholars will have a hard time envisioning a time when the social sciences strove to develop an “institutionally antiseptic” theory of society. In response to this sterile vision of the social sciences, New Institutional Economics was developed and the powerful framework of analysis provided had wide acceptance in economics, politics and history. But translating the insights into the scientific strategy of modern social science often had the result for tractability of reasons of flattening the notion of institutions matter to its most simplistic rendering. The Handbook challenges that rendering and insists on the essential complexity of both the world we are trying to study and the theoretical framework we use to study that complex reality. The chapters inside this book represent foundational contributions to that effort.’ – Peter Boettke, George Mason University, USA May 2025 c 420 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 0971 9 £175.00 / $245.00 eBook • Elgaronline Handbook on Gender and Security Edited by Jutta Joachim, Radboud University, the Netherlands, Annica Kronsell, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Natalia Dalmer, Leibniz University Germany ‘This welcome Handbook surveys the breadth of feminist security studies in light of critiques of coloniality, debates on method, questionings of feminist foreign policy, and a context of war, climate change and pandemic.
