    The document outlines four approaches to institutionalism: rational choice institutionalism uses deductive reasoning and predicts behavior based on incentives; historical institutionalism uses inductive reasoning and thick descriptions to provide historical explanations; sociological institutionalism uses even thicker descriptions and tends to be more relativistic in explaining institutions culturally; and discursive institutionalism views institutions as socially constructed products of ideas and discourse between actors.
