Summary: The article aims to show the transition from the Decisionism to the Institutionalism of Carl Schmitt is not to be considered as a “rupture”, but as a “continuity”. The point of this transition is to be found in the lesser importance of the “decision” than the institution, which depends on Schmitt’s need to understand the world after the First World War and to theorize national and international transformations. To this end, in 1919 the founders of the League of Nations give birth to a new international order in which the power of decision making, that is the sovereignty of the European States, gets weaker. As a result, Schmitt produces a new way of approaching the international order by claiming a “concrete order thinking” against the normativism, the decisionism and the juridical positivism. However, he never forgets the importance of the decision-making process not even in this context. In fact, the decision-making process continues to appear as the only way to produce spatial and juridical order. Therefore, the continuity between Schmitt’s two phases of thought can be easily grasped.
