The systemic approach in historical institutionalism
Abstract
One representative currents in contemporary political science is historical institutionalism. In this article, are based on the premise that currently two epistemological paradigms predominate in political science: the paradigm of classical mechanics and the systemic approach. It is argued that the historical institutionalism is supported by the idea of causality of the paradigm of classical mechanics but has been enriched by introducing the systemic approach in the study of political processes. It is conclude, that analytical categories such as strategies, trajectories and joints, typical of the historical institutionalism, are explained as a product of a systemic vision of the world of politics.
