The performance measuring of informal social institutions, formal, public and private has been held continuously, in many cases so little careful. To contribute to the improvement of the field theoretical and methodological research proposes a review of the literature dealing with the neo-institutionalism, an approach that rescues studies in institutions in the social sciences. The effort to problematization of the institutional dynamics part of the discussion of institutional approaches, old and new, and a behavioral approach, the rational choice theory, making pertinent criticism and thus marking positions and presenting the theoretical and methodological strategies that enable analysis of the performance of social institutions. Institutions exert an important role in our everyday life, in relationships: between family members and friends who have reciprocity as very important aspect, with the market, which are guided by formal contracts, and especially with the State that produces the major institutional arrangements aimed to regulating and regulating the various spectrums of society.
