Institutions are processes, not the structural contexts where processes unfold. Thisis gist of a processual view of institutionalism that integrates legal institutionalismwith actor-network theory. The present article makes the claim that this integrationis conducive to a novel theoretical orientation to political phenomena – one thataccords privilege to how political actors connect to form networks that seek to fendoff contingency. Processual institutionalism is presented as the study of the techniqueswhereby social entities provide themselves with varying degrees of stability. Basedon this, processual political institutionalism is advocated as a research method thatrequires both the production of theory and the tracing of contacts between actors.The conclusion is that no general theory of institution can be put forward, but only aninvestigation schema that avoids pre-conceptualizing what the actors are that make upthe networks. Finally, the example of the juridification of politics is briefly discussedto make sense of how processual political institutionalism could and should work.
