The institutionalization of politics[2] (also spelled as institutionalisation of politics; Chinese: 政治制度化),[3] commonly known as political institutionalization[4] or political institutionalisation, refers to the founding, arrangement, and codification of the states' various institutions, generally via constitution-making or some other constitutional mechanisms.[5] It is the process by which political structures and practices take root.[6]

Definition

[edit]

Political institutionalization means that political initiatives have been increasingly constrained by both formal and informal rules or norms.[7] And through the process of political institutionalization, the state-society nexus has been enhanced.[8]

Samuel Huntington defines political institutionalization as "the process by which organizations and procedures acquire value and stability",[9] and regards it as equivalent to political development.[10]
