COLLECTIVE OBLIGATIONS, GROUP PLANS AND INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2016
Abstract:
If group members aim to fulfil a collective obligation, they must act in such a way that the composition of their individual actions amounts to a group action that fulfils the collective obligation. We study a strong sense of joint action in which the members of a group design and then publicly adopt a group plan that coordinates the individual actions of the group members. We characterize the conditions under which a group plan successfully coordinates the group members’ individual actions, and study how the public adoption of a plan changes the context in which individual agents make a decision about what to do.
