New Institutionalism
20th Workshop Salzburg 2025
Call for Papers: 20th Workshop on New Institutionalism (NIW)

Paris Lodron University of Salzburg,
March 27–28, 2025

The annual New Institutionalism Workshop (NIW) aims to unite scholars from diverse disciplines, countries, and academic traditions. Each year, the workshop convenes to push the theoretical and empirical frontiers of institutional research. We are delighted to invite you to the 20th workshop, to be held at Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS).

This workshop serves as an open forum, creating a space for meetings and conversations where innovative research ideas and approaches related to new institutionalism can be shared. We welcome early-stage papers and encourage submissions that introduce novel topics, employ innovative methodologies, or offer fresh perspectives. Contributions that deviate from mainstream themes are particularly valued, as they will enhance and broaden our understanding of institutions and institutional phenomena. We are especially interested in literature not typically included in standard institutional theory references or not available in English. In line with the spirit of the new institutionalism network, the workshop also fosters collaboration and exchange, particularly among scholars from different disciplines or those bridging various academic fields.

We invite a broad range of scholars to submit their abstracts to present their contributions during the 20th Workshop on New Institutionalism in Salzburg. We eagerly anticipate submissions from experienced academics, young scholars, and doctoral students. We look forward to many enjoyable and productive discussions during the workshop. Participants are expected to be present throughout the event and actively engage in the discussions.
