Abstract
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
