Subject: studies in law making and field


I cannot help directly - but I have given some thought to rules - the
problem is that thinking of social action as rule related is to invoke the
game: i.e. to see the social action as taking place and having effect
within a discrete time, and effect, frame: which is to truncate the
analysis and miss the point of the action.
also - there may be something in identifyinf two fields - the mini-field of
the action as wlel as te braod soial field of conflict more widely.
Hope this helps.  I am interested in where you have got to.
