Abstract

Institutional approaches in economic sociology shed light on how states create and shape markets, thus revealing the variety of institutional configurations of state-market relationships in different countries. However, little attention has been paid to the processes through which, amidst political dynamics, states effectively build, structure, and regulate such markets. The article argues that an underlying reason for this is that, while law is occasionally referred to, it is still insufficiently considered. The argument is advanced in a dialogue with the works of Dobbin, Fligstein, and Vogel. We argue that taking the legal phenomenon (i) as constitutive of markets and state action; (ii) as part of the social struggle over institutions design; and (iii) as a structuring mechanism in the domestic-international interface may contribute, from the analytical viewpoint, to better understand the social process that underly the architecture of markets.
