What is It

Institutionalism
This is an approach that emphasizes the role of institutions. Also, it stresses
the usefulness of established institutions, often at the expense of the individual
(Ahmed 2015).
Characteristics of Institutions – Source (Ahmed 2015)
• Structures - The most significant element of an institution.
- Structure may be either formal (legislature, bureaucracy, political parties,
mass-media) or informal (a network of interacting organizations or a set of
shared norms).
- Institutionalism provides no place for individuals and their interests.
- Rather it involves groups of individuals in some sort of patterned interactions
that is predictable based upon specified relationships among the actors.
• Stability - The existence of some sort of stability over time.
- Some legislator may decide to meet in a committee meeting once in a room in
the parliament house. That could be very pleasant but it would not be an
institution.
- If they agree to meet routinely after a specific period of time at the same place,
that would begin to take on the shape of an institution.
• Regulator of individual behavior
- Institutions must in some way (formal/informal) constrain the behavior of its
members. If we resume with the trivial instance of the committee meeting
above, it may not be considered as an institution if the members do not attach
importance and obligation to attend the meeting.
• Shared Values
- There should be some sense of shared values and meaning among the
members of the institution. This view is central to the normative
institutionalism of March and Olsen
• Legitimacy
- Institutions involve legitimacy beyond the preference of individual actors. They
are valued in themselves and not simply for their immediate purposes and
outputs. Institution’s stability of over time may contribute to gain this
legitimacy (Lowndes: 1996:182).

Lesson Dominant Approaches and

2 Ideas of Social Sciences –
Feminist Theory
Feminist Theory
Feminism or feminist theory is a range of political movements, ideologies, and
social movements that share a common goal which is to define and advance political,
economic, personal, and social rights for women (Berroya 2017).
This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and
employment.
Table 2: Movements of Feminism – Source: (Mohammad Salik 2017)

Movements of Feminism Description

Feminism refers to an extended period of feminist

activity during the nineteenth century and early
1st Wave
twentieth century in the United Kingdom and the
United States.

Feminism refers to the period of activity in the early

2nd Wave
1960s and lasting through the late 1990s.

Feminism began in the early 1990s, arising as a

response to perceived failures of the second wave
3rd Wave and also as a response to the backlash against
initiatives and movements created by the second
wave.

Table 3: Basic Principles of Feminism – Source: (Mohammad Salik 2017)

Principles Description

Feminist thought links ideas to action,

insisting we should push for change
Working to increase equality
toward gender equality and not just talk

Feminists believe that both men and

Expanding human choice
women should have the freedom to
develop their human interests and
talents, even if those interests and
talents conflict with the status quo.

mechanic, she should have the right
and opportunity to do so.

Feminists oppose laws and cultural

Eliminating gender stratification norms that limit income, educational
and job opportunities for women.

reproduction.

Table 4: Types of Feminism – Source: (Mohammad Salik 2017)

Types of Feminism Description

Liberal feminism is an individualistic

form of feminist theory, which focuses
on women’s ability to maintain their
equality through their own actions and
Liberal Feminism choices.
Liberal feminists argue that society
holds the false belief that women are, by
nature, less intellectually and physically
capable than men.

Socialist feminism is a branch of

feminism that focuses upon both the
public and private spheres of a woman's
life and argues that liberation can only
be achieved by working to end both the
economic and cultural sources of
Socialist Feminism women's oppression.
Socialist feminism is a two-pronged
theory that broadens Marxist
feminism's argument for the role of
capitalism in the oppression of women
and radical feminism's theory of the role
of gender and the patriarchy.

Types of Feminism Description
