Opis

First published in 1917, with a second edition in 1948, this is the first English translation of Santi Romano’s classic work, The Legal Order. The focus is on the notion of institution, which Romano considers the core and distinguishing feature of law. The Legal Order offers precious insights for a thorough rethinking of state-based models of law.
