VARGAS HERNANDEZ, José Gpe.. La nueva economía política en la transformación institucional del Estado-nación. Prob. Des [online]. 2006, vol.37, n.145, pp.31-51. ISSN 0301-7036.

The aim of this study is to analyze the instrumental rationality of the new political economy in the institutional transformation of the State, based on an interdisciplinary conceptual and a methodological focus on development, which implies the interaction of the economic and the political. Rationality is analyzed from its individual and social components to separate its implications for the theory of collective action and for the economic rationality of decision-making. Special emphasis is put on the implementation of the principles of neo-institutionalism and the new political economy, which provide the theoretical-methodological and instrumental bases necessary for the processes of change and institutional transformation of the State.

Keywords : instrumental rationality; neo-institutionalism; new political economy; institutional transformation; nation-state.
