Abstract

Even if there is no fully articulated and generally accepted theory of Path Dependence it has eagerly

been taken up across a wide range of social sciences - primarily coming from economics. Path

Dependence is most of all a metaphor that offers reason to believe, that some political, social or

economic processes have multiple possible paths of outcomes, rather than a unique path of

equilibria. The selection among outcomes may depend on contingent choices or events - outcomes

of path-dependent processes require a very relevant study - a perception of history.
