Abstract
The concept of path dependence is used in social sciences to understand economic systems. From this concept its analytical application is addressed to fisheries policy in two different contexts such as the European Union and Mexico. The European Commission is beginning to address the producer´s views on consequences and impacts resulting from adjustments; buyback fleet programs; fishing rights and access conditions, or social and economic impact on fishing regions. Meanwhile in the case of Mexico, the settlement process and emphasis of fisheries policy in its regulations and administrative programs are identified with social demands, and since the 80´s and 90´s the economic efficiency elements take more of an increasingly role, and a recent aspect of sustainability tries to be incorporated into the fisheries and aquaculture policies.

Summary
El concepto de path dependence es muy utilizado en las ciencias sociales y recientemente está siendo objeto de análisis en campos del derecho y de la economía. La esencia de esta teoría conforma una forma de análisis que intenta descubrir las causas remotas y antiguas de las estructuras y de los procesos sociales del presente. De esta forma, esta teoría sustituye a la base evolucionista que basaba sus argumentaciones en explicar los movimientos a largo plazo, o el por qué determinadas cuestiones cambian y cuáles son las causas de dicha transformación. Las primeras (secuencias auto-reforzantes) subrayan la formación y la reproducción a largo plazo de un modelo institucional; esto es, viene a ser un estándar que con el paso del tiempo es más difícil cambiarlo o sustituirlo por otras opciones disponibles. Dicha dependencia del pasado es la llave para aplicar las dificultades a que se enfrenta la economía cuando desea alterar sus posiciones competitivas
