第七章介绍了历史制度主义（HI），这是一种研究国际制度的新方法，它包含了明显的时间主题，如顺序、路径依赖、关键节点、遗产效应和“创始时刻”的重要性。虽然历史制度主义者在推动制度方面取得了长足的进步，但本章认为，他们仍然被时间传统的问题所困，而且时间理论可以帮助他们摆脱困境。在总结了HI反对社会学，特别是理性主义治疗的兴起之后，它使用HI对“自由国际秩序”制度的描述来澄清“历史”在HI中的作用和地位，展示HI如何概括和叙述性地面对时间问题，并认为历史制度主义者无意中将自己定位为解释制度缺陷而不挑战理性主义者的钟表学家基本假设是，机构应该像近乎完美的合作机制那样运作。这使国际人道主义组织非政治化，并阻碍了它发展一种独特的制度理论的努力。然而，时机理论可以通过将制度重新塑造为集体时机项目，并通过接受国际制度可能性的更现实的观点来提供帮助。反过来，HI可以进一步推动时序理论的几个概念和见解，不仅打开了一个更彻底的制度时间帐户的可能性，但时序的制度主义观点。
Chapter seven covers historical institutionalism (HI), a new approach to international institutions that embraces overtly temporal themes like sequence, path dependence, critical junctures, legacy effects, and the importance of “founding moments.” While historical institutionalists make great strides in setting institutions in motion, this chapter argues that they remain trapped by the problem of Time tradition and moreover that timing theory can help them escape. After summarizing the rise of HI against sociological and especially rationalist treatments, it uses HI accounts of institutions of the “liberal international order” to clarify the role and status of “history” in HI, to show how HI recapitulates and narratively confronts the problem of Time, and to argue that historical institutionalists unintentionally position themselves as horologists who explain institutional faults without challenging the rationalist baseline assumption that institutions should work like near-perfect cooperation mechanisms. This depoliticizes HI and hamstrings its efforts to develop a distinctive theory of institutions. However, timing theory can help by recasting institutions as collective timing projects and by embracing a more realistic view of international-institutional possibility. In turn, HI can push several concepts and insights of timing theory further, opening the possibility not only of a more thoroughly temporal account of institutions but an institutionalist perspective on timing.
