Features: "Institutional Change and Economic Development: Growth and Governance in Less Developed and Post-Socialist Countries" is a collection of essays in institutional economics from the renowned "Institutional Reform and the Informal Sector Center" (IRIS) at the University of Maryland. The inclusion of these essays aims to highlight the connection between legal and development studies and another academic tradition that has achieved remarkable success in recent years—new institutional analysis. The choice of IRIS was made because the institution has been involved in reform programs in many developing and transition countries worldwide, contributing to the transformation of their political, economic, and legal institutions. Scholars from various fields such as economics, political science, and sociology have collaborated to provide an in-depth theoretical reflection on IRIS's experiences.
