This paper provides a formal framework for developing the idea of normative co-ordination. This idea is based on the assumption that agents can achieve flexible co-ordination by conferring normative positions to other agents. These positions include duties, permissions, and powers. In particular, we introduce the idea of declarative power, i.e. the capacity of the power-holder of creating normative positions by simply "proclaiming" such positions. We account also for the concepts of representation -- the representative's capacity of acting in the name of his principal --, and mandate -- the mandatee's duty to act as the mandator has requested.

Abstract. In this paper we provide a formal framework for developing the idea of normative co-ordination. We argue that this idea is based on the assumption that agents can achieve flexible co-ordination by conferring normative positions to other agents. These positions include duties, permissions, and powers. In particular, we introduce the idea of declarative power, which consists in the capacity of the power-holder of creating normative positions, involving other agents, simply by “proclaiming” such positions. In addition, we account also for the concepts of representation, consisting in the representative’s capacity of acting in the name of his principal, and of mandate, which corresponds the mandatee’s duty to act as the mandator has requested. 1

In this paper we address the problem of collective norms, and discuss two action logics for that purpose. The rst action logic is based on the action modality E i , where expressions of the form E i p are read as `agent i brings about (sees to it) that p'. This operator relates an agent with the eects of his action, and abstracts away details of the speci c actions. We will show that this abstraction often leads to an unacceptable level of ambiguity. Therefore we have developed another action logic, which is an extension and a variant of dynamic logic. The extension consists of groups of agents to express collective actions for representing collective norms.
