Primes¶
- Critical Juncture
- A critical juncture is a moment in time where outcomes depend sensitively on the specific choice made—small variations produce divergent paths that then become difficult or impossible to reverse, as Capoccia and Kelemen (2007) define the concept in historical institutionalism.
This sourceFoundational synthesis defining critical junctures as relatively short periods of heightened contingency in which agency/choice produces institutional outcomes that subsequently constrain development; directly supports the core definition.

- Path Dependence
- The identification problem creates asymmetric regret: either over-investing in what turns out to be an incremental choice, or under-investing in what turns out to be critical.
