Formal institutions are officially established rules like laws and organizations, while informal institutions are cultural practices. Old institutionalism focused on how governments constrain behavior, while new institutionalism examines how various institutions interact. The presentation outlined institutionalism and debated whether the Philippines should shift its political institutions from a presidential democracy to a federalism system.
