Political Philosophy on Path Dependence - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 583 Path Dependence/Political Theories: according to comparative welfare research, political maneuverability in social policy (...) is limited by past decisions. This is described by the term path dependency (Pierson 1996 (1), 2004 (2) Seal 2002 (3)). Example: Statutory pension insurance schemes financed by social security contributions give reasons for ownership on the part of the insured. The longer such a system exists, the stronger the restrictions on possible changes to this system will be. >Social policy, >Politics, >Political decisions. 1. Pierson, Paul. 1996.
