本文认为，以其“规范”形式，路径依赖模型及其“锁定”的核心概念，为区域和地方产业演化提供了一种非常严格且适用范围狭窄的解释，而且这种解释与基于均衡主义思维的问题基础相关。因此，规范路径依赖模型实际上强调连续性而不是变化。本文继续探讨历史社会学和政治学的最新发展，这些领域正在积极尝试重新思考路径依赖在制度演化中的应用，以强调变化而不是连续性。这些发展被用来主张重新思考经济地理学中的路径依赖思想。
This paper argues that in its 'canonical' form, the path dependence model, with its core concept of 'lock-in, affords a very restrictive and narrowly applicable account of regional and local industrial evolution, an account moreover that is tied to problematic underpinnings based on equilibrist thinking. As such the canonical path dependence model actually stresses continuity rather than change. The paper goes on to explore recent developments in historical sociology and political science, where there are active attempts to rethink the application of path dependence to the evolution of institutions so as to emphasise change rather than continuity. These developments are used to argue for a rethinking of path dependence ideas in economic geography.
