Mechanisms of isomorphism

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 2,3, Bielefeld University (Fakultat fur Soziologie), course: Grundrechte, language: English, abstract: This essay analyzes the question why the military regime of Myanmar recently makes efforts to give the country a constitution, although it used especially the missing of a constitution for a stabilization of its power and would limit it through an installation of a constitution and the included basic rights. For a reply to this question I raise the new institutionalist "e;world polity"e; approach of John W. Meyer, which is suitable to explain this apparently contradictory proceeding and also makes the political proceedings of the country in the past more distinct.
