Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper examines the impact of the Norman invasions on Sicily, England and Ireland in the 11th and 12th centuries in the context of the following points: First, the decision to adapt to the existing political institutions in Sicily and England meant that the invasion had less impact on the path dependent process than might have first indicated; the decision in Ireland to ignore the institutions of the existing tribes had an equal effect on the continual survival of the institutions until the seventeenth century; Second, the primary goal of the invaders was to gain control over and to maximize the productivity of human and natural resources through the control of land the major economic commodity of the time; their ability to carry this out within the path dependent land use system they inherited helped determined longer term political capacity for survival; Third, the ability to make adjustments in the system determined the longer term capacity of political actors to make decisions at critical junctures that ensured the establishment and continuity of legitimate political authority, the creation and survival of viable political communities and the ability to make the necessary inter-group bargains to carry out change; Fourth, the response of the political actors to the external shocks from the geopolitical system was strongly influenced by the existing path dependent process and the degree to which it could successfully adapt
