However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the state is not the sole or primary determinant of how citizens, service providers, and state officials engage in actions that constitute politics and development. These individuals belong to various religious orders, ethnic communities, and other groups that make claims on them, thereby shaping their actions and incentives. Understanding the experiences and perspectives of these individuals is essential for comprehending political processes and development outcomes. This Element establishes a framework that elucidates these forces, which holds significant importance for knowledge accumulation, guiding future research, and developing effective programming. By adopting an institutional approach, this Element explores how the salience of arenas of authority associated with different communities and the nature of social institutions within them influence politics and development.
