They also examine the selection, evolution, and performance of institutions in the post-Ottoman Balkans, and try to account for variations throughout the region. In writing this institutional history of the Balkans the contributors set themselves two key questions: did the post-Ottoman wave of Europeanization and Western-type institution building fail in the Balkans, and does this explain the region's continuing political fragility?

In sharp contrast to the consumption of material goods or the accumulation of wealth for which humans have shown no upper bound on their ability to achieve, biological limits make it impossible for a small number of individuals to consume most of a nation's calories.

Employing real price levels as a proxy for consumer power, the book rigorously establishes this proposition over time, within the OECD, and across a large sample of developing countries. Majoritarian electoral arrangements depress real prices by approximately ten percent, all else equal.

While both claims argue along the lines of functionalist regime theory, the 'informality claim' stresses state's interest to uphold autonomy and their accordant preference for informal cooperation. In contrast, the 'institutionalization claim' underscores the willingness of states to create formal and strong institutions as they promise effi ciency gains in light of transborder problems.
