Historical Institutionalism, Neoinstitutionalism, Crisis, Institutional ChangeAbstract
The purpose of the present work is to revise the main contributions of the neoinstitutionalism as theoretical framework, to the development of the political science; specifically, those of the historical institutionalism as an internal trend. Firstly, the place of the neoinstitutionalism in political sciences is established, acknowledging at the same time that this approach is not unified; as at least three trends can be identified inside it: rational choice, sociologic institutionalism and historical institutionalism; this useful distinction from Hall and Taylor grounds the general terms of this work. Secondly, it will focus on those contributions of the historical institutionalism for the study of the institutions and their link to the crisis, change and continuity dynamics, acknowledging at least three analytical models: critical conjunctions, path dependence and punctuated equilibrium. © Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.Downloads
