Yet there is a huge disagreement on the nature of this practice. Is it a conventional practice? Is it like the practice that takes place, more generally, when there is a social rule in a group? Does it share the nature of collective intentional action? The book explores the main responses to these questions, and claims that they fail on two main counts: current theories do not explain officials  beliefs that they are under a duty qua members of an institution, and they do not explain officials  disagreement about the content of these institutional duties. Based on a particular theory of collective action, the author elaborates then an account of certain institutions, and claims that the practice is an institutional practice of sorts. This would explain officials  beliefs in institutional duties, and officials  disagreement about those duties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book should be of interest to legal philosophers, but also to those concerned with group and social action theories and, more generally, with the nature of institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodrigo Eduardo Sánchez Brigido\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9048187699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048187690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Rodrigo Eduardo Sánchez Brigido","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424638058751,"sku":"9789048187690","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f903eb3d-64a7-44b6-83b1-1207650521c3.jpg?v=1761531552","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/groups-rules-and-legal-practice-rodrigo-eduardo-szanchez-brigido-9789048187690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
