Economic Sociologies in Space (2005, background): “…arguments tend to focus on situations in which decision making is “locked in,” having less to say about those path-altering moments when creative or revolutionary “breakouts” from institutionalized patterns of social action may occur, either in principle or in practice (Crouch and Farrell 2002).”
What's on the path? Path dependence, organizational diversity and the problem of institutional change in the US economy, 1900-1950 (2007, background): “…do on or with existing institutional arrangements, and at how the histories of path creation themselves generate resources for transformation or the creation of new forms (Stark 1996; Thelen 2004; Orren and Skorownek 1994; Crouch and Farrell 2004; Streeck and Thelen 2005; Berk and Schneiberg 2005).”
Complex Causal Relations and Case Study Methods: The Example of Path Dependence (2006, background): “Similarly, Crouch and Farrell (2004) argue that sophisticated versions of path dependence eschew deterministic notions of ‘‘lock’in,’’ and they point out that social actors can use past or redundant institutions, transfer experiences or ideas from other social units, or tap into the capabilities of…”
Organizational Path Dependence: Opening the Black Box (2009, background): “While in no way we exclude this case, it seems too restrictive a starting point for the organizational context (see also critical comments by Crouch & Farrell, 2004; Eden, 2004; Ortmann, 1995).”
Making global markets: Historical institutionalism in international political economy (2010, background): “However, path dependence, especially if employed in a generic fashion, has its own conceptual deficiencies (Crouch and Farrell, 2004), and may sometimes serve to obscure the actual drivers of broader dynamics of adjustment.”
Regional and sectoral varieties of capitalism (2009, background): “Various contributors to the neo-institutionalist tradition have shown how it is possible to cope with diversity while retaining the concept of institutional constraint (Crouch, 2005; Crouch & Farrell, 2004; Schmidt, 2002; Streeck & Thelen, 2005; Thelen, 2004).”
Overcoming path dependency: path generation in open systems (2007, background): “…identification of reproduction and stabilization mechanisms, the analytical description of exactly how those institutional systems persist, resist, and become entrenched is only a recent preoccupation in that literature (Crouch 2005b; Crouch and Farrell 2002; Morgan et al. 2005; Lane 2005).”
Trusting organizations: The institutionalization of trust in interorganizational relationships (2012, background): “Individual agency allows actors to ‘act otherwise’, and thus to break existing paths and/or create new ones (Crouch and Farrell, 2004; Sydow et al., 2004).”
Comparing the evolution of national research policies: what patterns of change? (2007, background): “…in the conditions and occurrences of ruptures and the conditions and mechanisms that enable actors to 'break the path' and to push research policy in a new trajectory (possibly by making use of hidden alternatives or by transferring experiences from other countries (Crouch and Farrell, 2004)).”
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED … (2005, background): “Indeed, the persistence of suboptimal equilibria may be seen as providing evidence of path dependency in operation (Crouch & Farrell, 2004 , p.”
