Abstract

The paper deals with social and political changes of contemporary governance, highlighting how they involve practice and theory of law. The pluralization of agencies involved in global dynamics breeds a trend to fragmentation of political order granted by modern State, revealing how modern legal categories are too narrow to contain today normative practices. The idea of institution, thus, could be a quite elastic definition for the plurality of practices, historically labeled as law.
