Abstract

Golan-Nadir concludes and assesses the contribution of the study, indicating the conclusive lessons from the implementation of the offered institutional explanation of enduring gaps between public preferences and institutional designs. The chapter mainly focuses on the theoretical contribution of the study, aimed to shed some further light upon the perplexing phenomenon of the long-existing differences between institutional designs and public preferences in modern democracies. It specifically indicates that the main contribution of this research lies in complementing historical institutionalism theories by focusing on the active measures taken by institutions towards society to sustain their design. Finally, the chapter suggests that the described theoretical framework is eligible to analyze such gaps in various policies and other democratic states, suggesting further research inquiries to the presented phenomenon.
