Principles are beliefs of fact, causation and rectitude. Norms are standards of behavior defined in terms of rights and obligations. Rules are specific prescriptions or proscriptions for action. Decision-making procedures are prevailing practices for making and implementing collective choice.” Stephen Krasner, “Structural Causes and Regime Consequences: Regimes as Intervening Variables,” in ed.
