Critical Junctures Analysis
Critical junctures analysis explains long-run institutional divergence by locating brief, formative periods in which the structural constraints on action loosen and actors' choices can set societies onto durable, contrasting trajectories. Developed most influentially by Ruth Berins Collier and David Collier in their study of labor incorporation in Latin America, the framework couples a moment of heightened contingency, the critical juncture, with the lasting legacy it produces and the reactive sequences that reproduce that legacy over time. The approach is comparative by design: it examines several cases sharing similar antecedent conditions, shows how different choices at the juncture generated different legacies, and traces how each legacy was carried forward through subsequent reactions and counter-reactions. By distinguishing the rare windows when agency is decisive from the long stretches when structures dominate, critical-junctures analysis reconciles contingency with durable patterning and supplies the formative moment that path-dependence accounts require.
