Anarchist law is a hypothetical body of norms regarding behavior and decision-making that might be operative in an anarchist community. The term is used in a series of ongoing debates within the various branches of
anarchist theory regarding if and how norms of individual and/or collective behavior,
decision-making and actions should be created and enforced. Although many anarchists would consider "anarchist law" simply synonymous with
natural law, others contend law in anarchy would have additional, unique elements. Over the course of the last two hundred years as anarchism has grown and evolved to include
diverse strains, there have been different conceptions of "anarchist law" produced and discussed, or used in practice by anarchist networks such as
Peoples' Global Action or
Indymedia.
