Abstract: |
A paper about the complexity of the interaction between laws and norms. A norm is a practice with mysterious origins and puzzling staying power while a law creates an obligation and derives from familiar institutions and gets enforced in a transparent fashion. The paper is about the coexistence of laws and norms and about the influence of either law on norms or of norms on laws. Norms can supplement formal private arrangements as well as public rules. Examples are the tipping, parking and smoking violations. |
