Review Quotes:
The book opens a new page of the philosophical-political debate, deconstructing the traditional antithesis between anarchy and institutions. Interpreted in a radical way, they share a common distance from the sovereign paradigm. As the instituting praxis incorporates an anarchist element, anarchism tends to institute a community free from sovereign commands.
