This article examines the position and functioning of the Romanian Ombudsman institution through the lens of an extended triadic model of social integration: Anarchy (absence of order), Gesellschaft (contractual society based on rule of law), and Oligarchic Gemeinschaft (closed community based on institutional capture). The study employs a qualitative institutional analysis and case study methodology, integrating theoretical synthesis of the Hardware-Software model with critical examination of the Ombudsman’s activity in the post-2020 period.
