Since the 90s of the 20th century, different disciplines of social sciences have paid more attention to institutional research, and neo-institutionalist political science, neo-institutional economics, and neo-institutionalist sociology have become increasingly mature. Under the consensus that "institutions are important factors", institutional researchers should reflect more on where the new institutionalist theory should go. Ten Lectures on New Institutionalist Political Science attempts to transcend the old and new positions, outline the outline of the frontier development, topic expansion and method renewal of new institutionalist political science, and understand the development trend of new institutionalist political science on the basis of paying attention to the overall context of social sciences and the research value of different disciplines.
As for the future of neo-institutionalist political science, we can not only examine the tectonic plate movement in the field of social sciences, the differentiation and combination of various disciplines, and the active exchange, but also grasp the traditional inheritance of institutional studies and the development prospects and frontiers of neo-institutionalist political science itself. First of all, from the perspective of the internal structure and plate movement of social sciences, the new institutionalist political science should get rid of the single identity attribute of political science and the simplified logic of replacing the old and the new, and understand the relationship between the new development and the old tradition from the mutual influence of sociology, economics, anthropology, history and other disciplines. Secondly, from the perspective of the differentiation, combination and active communication of different disciplines, the new institutionalist political science should not be confined to the basic position of a certain discipline, and the new institutionalism in political science should absorb the beneficial elements of the differentiation and diversification of various disciplines in terms of concept dissemination, theoretical construction and method application. Thirdly, from the perspective of the traditional inheritance and nutrient absorption in the research field, the development of institutional theory in the new institutionalism political science should not simply be regarded as the replacement of the old model by the new fashion, nor should it be based on the logic of pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, but should reasonably treat the broad academic context and rich academic resources of institutional research in the social sciences. Finally, from the perspective of the prospect and frontier exploration of its own development, the new institutionalist political science should avoid being confined to the academic tradition of political science, but explore the prospect of theoretical construction and method renewal from the overall background and rich context of social science.
This paper examines the new institutionalism in political science from the perspective of the multiple backgrounds of the development and evolution of social sciences and the plate movements of various sub-disciplines. To understand the research and function of institutions, we should correctly view the internal tension in the field of social science knowledge, explore the commonalities and differences, pay attention to the diversified and dynamic analysis level, research approaches and theoretical orientations of social science, absorb the theoretical nutrients of multiple disciplines for institutional research from an interdisciplinary perspective, and balance the structural nature of the objective world and the constructivity of human mental activities. In this sense, the development prospect of neo-institutionalist political science is contained in the process of generation and evolution, and is in the context of the overall changes of social sciences and the context of multidisciplinary integration.

Introduction
Since the 70s of the 20th century, the study of political science has made breakthroughs, and neo-institutionalist political science has gradually become the dominant analytical paradigm and research method in contemporary political system research. This book examines the connotation, essence, characteristics and types of political systems, summarizes the history and scope of neo-institutionalist political science, and paves the way for clarifying the general principles of political system analysis and the development of neo-institutionalist political science. This book is the first to rationally choose the occurrence path, internal logic and meaning analysis of institutionalism, historical institutionalism, organizational analysis institutionalism, and construction institutionalism, and presents the multiple focuses, hierarchical differentiation and field extension of new institutionalist political science. On this basis, this book takes the generation, maintenance and change of institutions as clues, reveals the basic views of neo-institutionalist political science on the core issues of institutional research, and looks forward to the future prospects of neo-institutionalist political science in combination with the overall background of social sciences and the plate movements of various sub-disciplines.
