Specificities of Political Institutions
from Part II - On Political Institutions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2022
Chapter 7 concludes this work by focussing on the specificity of political institutions as opposed to any other type of institutions. I discuss particular aspects of political institutions such as their primordiality and scope, their generative character, weak normativity and sanctionability, their particular enforcement mechanisms, their contestedness and their intentional inefficiency. I conclude that it is improper to assimilate, and even worse to derive, the properties of political institutions from other kinds of economic, administrative or social institutions. For political institutions the political element outweighs the institutional one, giving them their unique character.
