Moreover, I show that new institutionalists transcend the limits of old institutionalism, as they in-clude in the analysis both formal and informal institutions, and elaborate theories of institutional emergenceand change. In the second section of the article, I discuss the main assumptions of historical institutionalismand its conception of institutional change. To grasp the distinctive character of the latter, I compare it withthe conception of institutional change in rational choice institutionalism.
