This contribution discusses Ron Martin's Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography, 'Rethinking Regional Path Dependence: Beyond Lock-in to Evolution'. The lecture offered original ideas on how to avoid some of the pitfalls associated with path dependence theories and the equilibristic understanding of the temporality of economic change. This contribution addresses the question of co-evolution of the economic and the political in regional and local industrial evolution. It questions the conception of temporality that seems implicit in the framework. It is suggested that the notion of punctuated co-evolution may be a way forwards, avoiding some of the difficulties in Martin's model. The contribution concludes by discussing the analytical limits of path dependence models.RésuméDans sa 'Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography', Ron Martin a présenté une nouvelle réflexion sur les sentiers de dépendance régionaux, écartant l'idée de 'blocage' pour s'attacher à celle d'une évolution. Les idées originales qui sont avancées permettent d'éviter certains des pièges liés aux théories du sentier de dépendance, ainsi qu'à l'approche équilibriste de la temporalité du changement économique. Tout en s'intéressant à la coévolution de l'économique et du politique dans les transformations industrielles locales et régionales, la présente contribution interroge la conception de la temporalité, apparemment implicite dans le cadre d'analyse. La notion de coévolution ponctuelle est proposée comme piste de progression pour échapper à certaines difficultés relevées dans le modèle de Martin. La conclusion examine les limites analytiques des modèles de dépendance de sentier
