The Normative Power of Sanction. A Simulation Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
As specified by Axelrod in his seminal work An Evolutionary Approach to Norms (Axelrod, 1986), punishment is a key mechanism to achieve the necessary social control and to impose social norms in a self-regulated society. In this paper, we distinguish between two enforcing mechanisms punishment and sanction, focusing on the specific ways in which they favor the emergence and maintenance of cooperation. To achieve this task, we have developed a normative agent able to punish and sanction defectors, and we have run a proof-of-concept simulation to test our hypotheses.

متن کاملNavigating Between Stealth Advocacy and Unconscious Dogmatism: The Challenge of Researching the Norms, Politics and Power of Global Health
Global health research is essentially a normative undertaking: we use it to propose policies that ought to be implemented. To arrive at a normative conclusion in a logical way requires at least one normative premise, one that cannot be derived from empirical evidence alone. But there is no widely accepted normative premise for global health, and the actors with the power to set policies may use...
