Jenseits von Pfadabhängigkeit und natürlicher Auslese: Institutionentransfer aus diskursanalytischer Perspektive

Abstract

Pfadabhängigkeit und „natürliche Auslese“ markieren zwei Pole im Spektrum der Diskussionen um Institutionentransfers. Die These der Pfadabhängigkeit impliziert, dass, wenn überhaupt, nur ein inländischer Institutionenwandel von der Wahrnehmung ausländischer Institutionen beeinflusst wird und jedes Lernen (und vor allem der Versuch, das Gelernte umzusetzen) nur im Rahmen der bisher bestehenden Institutionen erfolgen kann. Die These des „one best way“ besagt dagegen, dass unter Strafe des Untergangs die effizienteste Praxis übernommen werden muss. Der Beitrag zeigt auf, dass auf der Basis derzeit vorherrschender Theorien, insbesondere der Neoklassik und der Neuen Institutionellen Ökonomie, die Frage nach der Möglichkeit des grenzüberschreitenden Institutionentransfers nicht hinreichend beantwortet werden kann. Stattdessen wird ein diskursanalytischer Zugang gewählt, der, ohne die prägende Kraft von Konkurrenz und institutionellem Vermächtnis verneinen zu müssen, den Blick für die politischen Auseinandersetzungen um den Institutionentransfer öffnet. Besondere Bedeutung wird dabei der Fähigkeit zentraler gesellschaftlicher Akteure beigemessen, andere relevante Akteure von den Vorzügen eines ausländischen Modells zu überzeugen und die Nachahmung dieses Modells einzuleiten. Anschauungsmaterial sind die Diskussionen um den Transfer wirtschaftspolitischer Institutionen zwischen den USA und Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert.
