规范支配制度的一个标准特征是，指定的代理人被授权通过特定类型的行为的表现来创造特定类型的aaairs状态。这种事态往往是规范性的，因为它们与权利和义务有关，例如，当一个部门的负责人签署一项采购协议，从而使其雇主有义务为收到的货物付款。我们用制度化权力这个术语来代表我们在这里试图解释的权力概念。在对法律的权力的审慎讨论的引导下，我们将制度化的权力与许可和实际可能性区分开来。我们设计了一个条件连接词，旨在捕捉隐含在以下形式的陈述中的结果关系：根据在制度s中起作用的约束，代理人x执行的某个行为A算作创造aaairs B状态的一种手段。当与道义和行动逻辑相结合，新的连接促进了一些概念的分析至关重要的机构，如授权和代表团有组织的互动的理解。最后，我们用一些例子来说明新逻辑语言的表达能力。
It is a standard feature of norm-governed institutions that designated agents are empowered to create particular kinds of states of aaairs by means of the performance of speciied types of actions. Frequently, the states of affairs are of a normative kind, in the sense that they pertain to rights and obligations, as for instance when a Head of Department signs a purchase agreement and thereby creates an obligation on his employer to pay for goods received. We use the term institutionalised power to stand for the notion of power we here seek to explicate. Following a lead from jurispru-dential discussions of legal power, we distinguish institutionalised power from permission and practical possibility. We deene a conditional connective intended to capture the consequence relation implicit in statements of the form: according to the constraints operative in institution s, the performance of some act A by agent x counts as a means of creating state of aaairs B. When combined with deontic and action logics, the new connective facilitates the analysis of a number of notions crucial to the understanding of organised interaction in institutions, such as authorisation and delegation. We conclude with some illustrations of the expressive power of the new logical language.
