美国政治发展（APD）致力于了解制度的活力和持久性。这种关注点与政治学中关于政治的时间建构的同类学术研究有很多共同点，但 APD 与其他领域之间的联系点并不总是明确的。作为一种补救措施，本文回顾了文献中发现的各种制度变迁模式、每种模式的因果机制，以及学者们有时用来捕捉难以直接观察的过程的隐喻。 APD 学者利用这些不同的模式、机制和隐喻，在不同分析层面探索制度动态，强调情境行动的微观政治与政体宏观层面更广泛的变革之间的联系。综述最后展示了 APD 研究如何探讨权力和政治经济学问题，这些问题再次成为政治学学术的核心。
American political development (APD) endeavors to understand the dynamism and durability of institutions. This focus has much in common with kindred scholarship in political science on the temporal construction of politics, yet the points of connection between APD and other fields are not always clear. As a remedy, this article reviews the various modes of institutional change found in the literature, the causal mechanisms in each, and the metaphors scholars sometimes use to capture processes that are difficult to observe directly. Using these various modes, mechanisms, and metaphors, scholars of APD explore institutional dynamics at different levels of analysis, highlighting the connections between the micropolitics of situated action and broader transformations at the macro level of the polity. The review concludes by showing how the study of APD speaks to issues of power and political economy that are once again central to political science scholarship.
