The Importance of Path Dependence in IR Theory

I want people who do IR theory to read the book and engage with it, because I think it pushes it forward in ways that IR theorists themselves basically aren't capable of. There's a whole bunch of stuff there whether it's done from grif or north or others that IR theories are aware of and have indeed incorporated. You're right. Some of these things are cultural. And some of them are internalized as norms. So, Edithi and I are involved in some say, prisoner's dilemma situation. In the inevitability of game theory, we end up in the sub optimal cell. And now I make a promise to to a DT that I'll cooperate.
