CEVAP:

Robert Keohane explained the role of institutions as “persistent and connected sets of formal and informal rules that prescribe behavioral roles, constrain activity and shape expectations”. In his words, international institutions could take one of three forms: (1) formal intergovernmental or cross-national, non-governmental organizations, (2) international regimes, and (3) conventions (customary norms and practices). Keohane was closer to neorealists in his efforts to explain why even egoists behave in a cooperative manner, but he still distinguished his studies as neoliberal institutionalism under a distinct theory (Viotti &Kauppi, 2012, 148).
