This essay engages with the mounting published criticism of neo-institutionalism, particularly the institutional logical approach. By addressing each of the main critiques formulated by the opponents of the theory – (1) institutional logical theory is tautological; (2) everything is institutional; (3) absent power; and (4) institutional logical theory is not critical – the essay attempts to think better how to build a theoretical apparatus able to engage with the current institutional crises of the world.
