Summary/Abstract: Whether in principle, or on the level of institutional praxis, the rule of lawproscribes mafia-like ways of functioning. Effective barriers in the frameworkprovided by the rule of law deter mafia-style operations from comingto influence decision making, dictating norms, or effecting the formationof political will. It follows from the above that the institutionalization of amafia-like power structure requires a systematic dismantling of the liberalconstitution and constitutional establishment.
