Via thorough critique and reconstruction of neo institutionalist theory, classical social theories, and critical ideology theory, \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Order\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the first relational theory of social institutions to explain in detail how individuals end up encountering institutions as objective. Thus synthesising integrative and conflicting social relations, the work calls into question deeply rooted understandings in which society is variously construed as spontaneous equilibrium, solely conflict-driven, or a set of agent-based constructions. It offers a new take on the age-old questions of classical and critical social theory and on the fundamentals of institutional and organisational theory alike. This timely and useful relational examination of social institutions reveals how complex societies can keep functioning even though theirorders are constantly contradicted by multiple disordering endeavours and tendencies. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-11-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031164835\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-16481-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 267.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542884970636,"sku":"9783031164835","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031164835.jpg?v=1759337356","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031164835","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
