Abstract
La subordinación política en Puerto Rico parece constatar cierta "dependencia del rumbo", una suerte de inercia que evidencia la importancia de las instituciones en la orientación de las políticas a lo largo del tiempo. Pero ¿Cómo surgen estas instituciones? y ¿Por qué su continuidad? Una mirada al período formativo del sistema de partidos en Puerto Rico permite advertir que éste quedó envuelto en la maraña de la dinámica metropolitana (española primero y estadounidense después) convirtiéndose en un mero instrumento legitimador de la dependencia. El autonomismo, como ideología hegemónica, es resultado de la interacción de fuerzas e individuos mediatizados por las instituciones que han limitado el establecimiento de nuevos patrones políticos y cuya continuidad ha desembocado en el actual equilibrio estático.
Political subordination in Puerto Rico seems to display some type of path dependency, a kind of inertia that shows the importance of institutions in leading policies through the years. But, how do these institutions arise? And, why do they remain? A glance at the formation period of the emerging party system, allows to understand that it remained wrapped in the jumble of the metropolitan dynamic (Spanish first and American later) turning into a mere legitimizing instrument of dependency status. Political autonomy as an hegemonic ideology is the result of the interaction of forces and individuals with the interference of institutions that have limited the establishment of new political patterns. These institutional constraints have promoted the current static balance.
