Bricolage thrives where external frameworks fail to align with local realities.
Evidence
Institutional bricolage plays an important role, particularly when there are “voids,” absent or weak formal institutions (Ingram et al., 2015). It also emerges in the in-between areas, where formal institutions are either insufficient or in conflict with socially-embedded institutions (de Mattos Vieira et al., 2019). Such conditions are common in externally imposed projects and legal frameworks, which often fail to align with local realities. As projects are implemented, they can create feedback loops that reshape both the interventions themselves and the local institutions (Steenbergen & Warren, 2018). — Jessica Carrick-Hagenbarth, Institutional Bricolage and Commoning…, 22
