Abstract
According to the major tendencies in contemporary political science, institutionalist approach remains a strong base for emphirical research. Despite a variety of «new institutionalisms» in political science, which differ in significant ways historical institutional scholars analize macro context and emphasize time influence on sequences and processes of institutional transformations; rational choice scholars study micro context and assume that actor’s preference maybe explain in terms of neoclassical economy and game theory they share a common set of regularities in political life. This article discusses the most relevant institutional approaches in the teorethical framework of political science and international relations and focuses the attention on two alternative stategies suggested to explain institutional changes: policy transfer and institutional isomorphism.
