This book provides an account of the emergence of norms. Put very
crudely, the main thesis of this book is that certain types of
norms are possible solutions to problems posed by certain types of
social interaction situations. The problems are such that they
inhere in the structure (in the game-theoretical sense of
structure) of the situations concerned. Three types of paradigmatic
situations are dealt with. They are referred to as Prisoners'
Dilemma-type situations; co-ordination situations; and inequality
(or partiality) situations. Each of them, it is claimed, poses a
basic difficulty, to some or all of the individuals involved in
them. Three types of norms, respectively, are offered as solutions
to these situational problems. It is shown how, and in what sense,
the adoption of these norms of social behaviour can indeed resolve
the specified problems.
