Abstract
Institutional transplantation always involves a conscious attempt to alter existing institutions and replace or complement them with new institutions (the transplants) borrowed from another country or another context. In Chapter 2 of this book, we contended that there were two main perspectives on institutions. In the first, they are seen as the historical result of a long evolutionary process. In the second, they are seen as a social construct. Consequently, the first perspective tends to see institutional transplantation as a dangerous attempt to alter the likely and natural evolution of existing institutions, while the second may overrate the promise of policy transfer.
