Competences decision making

See, Sellv. United States, 539 U,S, 166,213 (2003) [ [e]very State provides avenues through which, for example, a doctor or institution can seek appointment of a guardian with the power to make a decision authorizing medication - when in the best interests of a patient who lacks the mental competence to make such a decision ,]... 

The competences of the Agency were increased during the negotiations over REACH, primarily because industry thought this would result in more consistent decision making, but its funding was yet to be agreed at the end of 2006. How many substances for authorization they will be able to cope with at any one time is therefore very unclear. 

It is not a new idea that the self is multiple. Philosophers and psychologists since Plato have described competing principles of decision-making, usually a lower, impulsive principle and a higher, rational principle (Kenny 1963, Ch. 8 Kant 1960, pp. 15-49 Ricoeur 1971, p. 11 Freud 1923) but the relationship between these principles has been elusive. If the parts of the self can be clearly articulated, they may be suitable material for a model more microscopic than microeconomics, picoeconomics perhaps, in which the elements that combine to determine the individual person s values can be described. Freud proposed such an economic model and kept it in mind as he modelled motivational conflicts, but he never achieved a coherent system (1916-17, pp. 356-7). This chapter will present some preliminary suggestions about how a multiple self may be simply described. 

Formal (e.g., legal) and informal institutional decisionmaking rules guide the administration of decision-making and implementation within a country. This includes the networks between actors that determines who is competent and accepted in decision-making and institutional (administrative) structures that determine how the rules are followed and enable participation of actors.
