Negotiated order is a sociological concept that refers to a social structure or system that does not have a fixed or predetermined existence but rather derives its character and stability from the ongoing social interactions and negotiations through which people define, interpret, and redefine its elements, rules, and boundaries. This perspective emphasises the dynamic and emergent nature of social organisation, highlighting how social order is continuously constructed and maintained through the interactions and agreements among individuals and groups within a particular setting or context. The negotiated order can be influenced by power dynamics, shared understandings, and the ongoing processes of communication and adjustment among participants. It suggests that social structures are not static entities but are constantly being shaped and reshaped by the interactions of those within them.
