Book Synopsis A World of Standards by : Nils Brunsson
Book excerpt: In this book we discuss standards, in particular how standards are produced and propagated. Standards constitute a special kind of rule, but a common and very important one. Most standards are produced by organizations. We argue that standardization i a fundamental form for governance and co-ordination in societies, and a form to which social science has paid far to little attention.
