What is institucionalism? Is that like poststructuralism and Foucault's power theories?

Institutionalism focuses on roles of institutions and how they regulated the interantional system. I am on and off about that (especially regarding institutions like the EU...).
My studies focused a lot on strategic studies (we had a class called Security in nuclear age.......... it was about nukes and all the fascinating stuff. I spend few nights looking at videos of nuclear tests. And bothered a lot of people with talking about nukes....)
I get hyperfocused on the world events (right now it's Ukraine obviously, for so many reasons, before that I wouldn't sleep glue to Al Jazeera's livestream from the middle east).
I came with term for myself, a politicore (short for political emocore
). I get really into it. It helped me through my studies.... but it hindered me as well.
