Stabilized politics make direct legacy influence fade into structure
Evidence
As the political situation stabilized, however, the proļ¬les of political actors become clearer and more settled, and the consequences of political choices more predictable. Legacies are then less likely to inļ¬uence decision making directly. Instead, the patterns they initially set into motion, now translated into organizational and institutional choices, would begin to structure politics. ā Anna M. Grzymala-Busse, Redeeming The Communist Past, 135
