Exploring the nature of societal order, the author argues that the perceived stability of societies is an illusion, shaped by Western political theories that emphasize leadership. Originally published in 1980, the book challenges the notion that violence is merely an occasional disruption, suggesting instead that disorder is a constant element of human societies. Through this lens, it critiques traditional views on political order and encourages a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics of social structures.
