Institutional Dynamics
How do Manhattan women remain so stunningly svelte, despite the fact that New York has more top restaurants than any other city on the planet, not to mention a bagel bar or pizzeria on nearly every corner?

Now you can learn to eat, lose weight and live your life the way chic New Yorkers do - and enjoy the same fabulous results. Manhattan insider Eileen Daspin reveals what real New York women - including celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Anna Wintour and Tina Fey - really think about dieting and how they shop for food, cook, order in restaurants, eat, cheat, and splurge. Discover their eating secrets and waist-trimming tips, plus a detailed weight-loss program and 28-day eating plan that will fit easily into your personal lifestyle. Along with wisdom from leading nutritionists, tips from celebrity trainers and recipes by New York's most celebrated chefs, The Manhattan Diet gives you everything you need for a slim and stylish life - wherever you live.
The Institutional Dynamics of China's Great Transformation
This book examines the role of institutions in China’s recent large-scale economic, social and political transformation. The book argues that, although the importance of institutions in China’s rapid economic growth and social development over the past 30 years is widely acknowledged, exactly how institutions affect changes in particular national and historical settings is less well understood. Unlike existing literature, it offers perspectives from a variety of disciplines - including law, economics, politics, international relations and communication studies – to consider whether institutions form, evolve and change differently according to their historical or cultural environments and if their utilitarian functions can, and should be, observed, identified and measured in different ways. The book discusses China’s political and legal institutions; the international institutions with which China engages; institutions promoting science and technology; media companies; and local institutions including the household registration system. It also examines how institutions themselves have been formed, changed and re-formed over recent decades, and suggests theoretical and methodological adjustments in institutional analysis to allow a fuller understanding of the institutional dynamics of China’s transformation.
Path Emergence in Institutional Dynamics

This book explores the unpredictable processes by which institutions emerge, evolve, and transform in response to complex interactions. Challenging traditional institutional theories, it introduces path emergence theory, which views institutions not as static constructs but as dynamic, adaptive systems shaped by the continuous interplay of individual actions, social interactions, and structural conditions. By combining insights from complexity science, cognitive neuroscience, and evolutionary theory, the author develops a framework that emphasizes the fluidity and unpredictability of institutional dynamics. The book presents both a theoretical foundation and real-world case studies, including the Helsinki Process and the evolving dynamics of the Korean Peninsula. It illustrates how small, decentralized actions can ripple through societies, fostering regional and global change. The book offers a fresh perspective on institutional change, highlighting the role of agency, co-evolutionary dynamics, and symbolic communication, and provides valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and those engaged in institutional transformation.
