Rules

From Geography

Benno Werlen gives two definitions for the therm Rules. In the philosophical tradition, either directives of conduct or regularities of praxis. So a praxis create the rules. From a structurationist point of view, rules are techniques or generalized procedures social actors routinely employ to cope with social situations (Lippuner & Werlen, 2009, p. 39). In this view rules have a normative and a constitutive character.
