Abstract
This essay expresses some of the author's concerns regarding the ethos and direction of the ''new institutionalism.'' While recognizing the latter's valuable insights and perspectives, he questions the wisdom o f drawing a sharp line between the ''old'' and the ''new,'' especially because doing so inhibits the contribution of institutional theory to major issues of bureaucracy and social policy.
