This discussion explores insights gained from examining various academic papers concerning the dynamics of power and institutional change. Led by Franziska Wolff from Öko-Institut e.V., we delve into key themes from the Call for Papers, including the agency of power, the interplay of political change, and existing taxonomies. We analyze the relational specificity of power, as outlined by Barnett and Duvall, alongside Thelen's taxonomy of institutional change. Through a comparative approach, we highlight lessons learned and implications for understanding power relations.
