		Among the features of this new type of civilization were the institutionalization of social stratification, non-agricultural specialised crafts (including priests and lawyers), taxation, and writing.
		The multiple notions of political power that are put forth range from conventional views that simply revolve around the actions of politicians to those who view political power as an insidious form of institutionalized social control - most notably "anarchists" and "radical capitalists".
		This view of power treads a line that leans more towards institutions as the basis of societal control (see New institutionalism) and ignores certain aspects of agency and ideational agendas.

		The institutionalization rate reflects the percentage of elderly in the population who reside in institutions – that is, the tendency of the elderly population to use institutional services.
		By comparison, the institutionalization made in 1983 was 3.6%, and the distribution by functional status was: 1.5% semi-independents, 0.8% frail, 1.1% nursing and 0.2% mentally frail elderly.
		Examination of changes in the institutionalization rate by marital status reveals that the institutionalization rate of unmarried elderly was six to seven times that of married elderly, at both points in time.

	Institutionalization of Seniors: A Necessary Practice?
		Institutionalization can occur when seniors are living in thecommunity and segregated from the mainstream of society, either by society's attitudes, a dehumanizing and impersonal approach to care, or lack of resources and support to facilitate integration (Hutchison & McGill, 1998; Meddaugh & Peterson, 1997).
		Although institutionalization has never been a desirable situation, it was, up until the 1970s, considered the only solution to care for people with disabilities and others whom society deemed "unfit" to live in mainstream society.
		Institutionalization is a system concerned with functional limitations while ignoring quality of life, and stigmatizing those using it, thereby isolating them from their relational circles and the greater community (Charron, 1992).

		Institutionalization of the shadow economy means that shadow regulations are dominant over legal ones and formal programs adopted by state bodies to eliminate shadow behavior (‘to stop corruption’, etc.) remain empty slogans.
		Institutionalization means that the shadow economy experiences a qualitative transformation: from the spontaneous and chaotic interactions of economic agents not limited by any hard and fast regulations, it becomes a hierarchical and self-reproducing social system, hidden from direct state monitoring and control, but basically self-organizing.
		Causes of Large-Scale Institutionalization of the Shadow Economy The authors of this article consider the reasons for the explosive growth of the shadow economy, and its institutionalization in post-Soviet Russia, to be much deeper than a simple lack of reforms or liberalization as some authors suggest.

	Institutionalizing a Broader View of Scholarship through Boyer's Four Domains. ERIC Digest.
		The guiding definition of institutionalization used in the ASHE-ERIC Report is: "the process whereby specific cultural elements or cultural objects are adopted by actors in a social system" (Clark, 1971, p.75).
		Institutionalization also occurs on three levels: structural, procedural, and incorporation, with incorporation being the highest level (Curry, 1991).
		Accordingly, we appraise the attainment of these three levels of institutionalization of Boyer's perspective by using data collected from a national sample of 1,424 faculty members in five types of colleges and universities and four academic disciplines.

	Party Rooting
		Institutionalized party systems, such as those in the advanced industrial democracies and some of the newer democracies, provide a stability to politics which makes the system operate with greater predictability.
		This criterion is important in evaluating institutionalization because it suggests stability over time in the number of parties in the system, their relative strengths, and their relationships with the electorate (stability does not mean lack of change, only change that is not wild and unpredictable).
		While admitting that levels of institutionalization exist along a continuum and cannot be reduced to either an institutionalized system or an uninstitutionalized system, in fact, Mainwaring says that in practice it is often thus.

	Alexander Siedschlag: Institutionalization and Conflict Management in the New Europe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Institutions and institutionalization often are regarded as an immanent way to general political improvement, amenable to rational design, whereas lower degrees of institutionalization, for example missing visible nodal points of conflict regulation, rashly are associated with institutional decay or a loss of political steering capacity (cf.
		Institutionalization as a model for ameliorative conflict transformation can only function so long as the conflict basically remains the same, there is a consensus between the adversaries what core issues they are struggling over and the actors do not change significantly.
		It is a strategy of paradoxical institutionalization: lowering the barriers for the Russian-speaking population to articulate their concerns, display their identity, guarantee the reproduction of their identity and language and creating paths for a regularized entry of the language and citizenship conflict into the arenas and procedures of the new democratic system.

	Controlling the School: Institutionalization
		But from another perspective, institutionalization represents the ascendency of wider, social goals over narrow, instrumentalist interests, the transformation of administration into statesmanship, a developing sensitivity to moral concerns that tempers a compulsive need for efficiency.
		The most alarming part of institutionalization theory is that it claims that certification interests, the gaining of grades and diplomas, takes precedence over educational interests of all kinds.
		Institutionalization is seen by many as a reduction in concerns about production and an increase in politics.

	CESNUR 2001 - Charisma and NRMs Leaders (Chryssides)
		Second, and equally important, Scientology’s institutionalization was not something that followed after Hubbard’s death: however one evaluates his achievements, he was certainly an administrator and laid down very clear procedures, both for the application of his ‘religious technology’ and also for the structure and operation of the Scientology organization.
		Since Hubbard had himself effectively completed the institutionalization process by the time of his death, Scientologists, while of course regretting his passing, did not feel that there was any particular charismatic void that required filling by some other charismatic figure.
		All this is not to say, however, that there were no problems of institutionalization after the death of the founder-leader, or that current institutions correspond to those laid down by Prabhupada – on the contrary.

		One aspect of institutionalization is the differentiation of an organization from its environment.
		But the total impact of a cadre of specialists operating over the entire spectrum of public policies is a formidable asset for a political institution; and it has undoubtedly enabled the House to retain a measure of autonomy and influence that is quite exceptional for a 20th century legislature.

	Op-ed on Romanian institutionalization
		After Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was executed a decade ago, the world was shocked to learn the tragic outcome of his social policies aimed at stimulating population growth.
		By 1992, the number of institutionalized children had dropped to 73,000, thanks largely to the wave of international adoptions that followed the revolution.
		Long before children suffer a physical death, there is the spiritual, emotional and developmental death that occurs when they are not loved, nourished, cherished, or cared for by a family.

		It is merely to state that insanity and institutionalization are more complicated than a mere labeling on the part of a social organization.
		For the institution, any particular institutionalization is just a moment in its history, though each of these moments is in the strictest sense {\em{essential}} - the institution really only consists of the sum of these institutionalizations.
		For the individual, ripped from his or her normal existence and deprived of his or her accustomed social context, the commitment is a traumatic event, but one that is not constitutive.

		Institutionalization, however, implies that not only have the curricular changes developed by the Foundation Coalition been adopted by the institution, but also that the processes associated with responsive curriculum modification are understood and accepted at that institution.
		The ability to document the issues involved in curriculum change, including the stages that a campus goes through during a change of its curriculum and the obstacles confronted by that campus during the change, is of tremendous value to other schools contemplating change at their own institution.
		A combination of these individual campus results will allow the FC to identify the basic principles associated with the institutionalization process that are common to curriculum change initiatives on any campus.
