Huntington's Political Order in Changing Societies

[Ulrich]

Hello,

In one of my current courses we are discussing Huntington's 'Political Order in Changing Societies'.
In his point of view, the degree of order matters more than what kind of order is in place and we were discussing in which branch of political science theory it would be located. 
We thought about historical institutionalism but I would argue that this really doesn't fit since the actual change of institutions especially due to path dependence is completely dismissed by Huntington. So now, I was thinking what other branch would actually fit. Anti-modernization theory does not really sound as an agreed category to me.

Thank you in advance,

Nelson
