Abstract: (8501 Views)
Resistive economy as the ability of societies in adaptability
and versatility in the face of shocks is viewed based on the institutional
literature as an “Adaptive Efficiency”- that the amount of the effectiveness
depends on the flexibility of the institutional matrix of the society. The
power structure is one of the most important factors in the institutional
structure of societies, and its role in absorbing tensions and organizing
interactions is of great importance. Accordingly, the present paper aims to
answer the question “What structure of power is needed to be designed
to achieve resistive economy pattern and to promote its dimensions?”
Hence, the researcher, in a comparative analysis between neoclassical
and institutional approaches considering the intellectual foundations
of these two approaches in the field of power, reveals that in the
neoclassical approach, the concept of power, according to the theory of
“zero participation” derived from the central postulate of individualism and
one-sided view of the individual to structure, is featured only in a central
authority with top-down causal relationships. Whereas through surveying
the above intellectual foundations in light of the institutional approach and
by proposing the individual-structure interactive attitude, it is revealed
that according to the Elinor Ostrom’s theory of multi-center systems,
embedding and applying institutions and collective actions with bottomup
causal relationships can provide important aspects of overall policies
of resistive economy (such as maximizing the common participation in
economic activities by facilitating and encouraging collective cooperation,
to make savings in public expenditure of the country, making the economy
healthy and preventing corrupt activities).
