目前理解履约协助方案发展的框架都存在静态而不是动态的问题。本文考虑的是路径依赖的概念是否能提供一个修正。然而，这一概念的绝大多数经验性应用是在宏观、宪法层面上的体制发展，而不是具体的公共政策。本文通过将CAP定义为一种制度，并使用路径依赖的概念，试图检验现有文献的边界。对这一概念在理解履约协助方案方面的优势和困难进行了严格的评估。主要困难是扩展对路径依赖的解释，以适应履约协助方案的重大改革。然而，在某些情况下，来自路径依赖方法的反馈循环和累积后果的机制可能有助于解释政策方向的重大转变。总体而言，这一概念可以丰富我们对履约协助方案发展的理解。
Current frameworks for understanding the development of the CAP all suffer from having a static rather than a dynamic perspective. This paper considers whether the concept of path dependency can provide a corrective. However, the large majority of the empirical applications of the concept have been to institutional development at a macro, constitutional level rather than to specific public policies. This paper by defining the CAP as an institution and using the concept of path dependency is an attempt to test the boundary of the existing literature. The advantages and difficulties of the concept with regard to understanding the CAP are critically assessed. The main difficulty is extending explanations of path dependency to accommodate major CAP reforms. However, in certain cases, the mechanisms of feedback loops and cumulative consequences which derive from a path dependency approach can be useful for explaining significant shifts in policy direction. Overall, the conclusion is that the concept can enrich our understanding of the development of the CAP.
