Rational choice theory is used to model human decision-making, specially in the context of microeconomics, but also in other fields such as political science, sociology, and psychology. INSTITUTIONALISM Institutionalism is an approach in the social sciences that emphasizes the role of institutions in shaping social phenomena. Institutions are the formal or informal rules, norms, and practices that guide and constrain human behaviour. Institutions can be political, economics, cultural, or social, and they can affect various aspects of society, such as governance, development, cooperation, and conflict. TYPES OF INSTITUTIONALISM • Historical institutionalism: This type of institutionalism focuses on how institutions emerge and evolve over time, and how they affect the path dependence and critical junctures of historical process. • Rational choice institutionalism: This is a type of institutionalism that assumes that individuals are rational actors who pursue their interests and preferences within the constraints and opportunities of institutions. • Sociological institutionalism: This is a type of institutionalism that emphasizes the cultural and normative aspects of institutions.
