Drawing on the notion of generative mechanisms as constitutive rules, this paper advocates a shift away from the notion of routines as sources of ongoing change and towards a rule-based understanding of routines as institutional facts. While the recent practice turn to routines studies has highlighted sources of endogenous change, this paper adopts a Critical Realist stance to investigate exogenous forces that account for the emergence of a new routine. To this end, the paper endeavours to analyse the passing of new legislation in the criminal justice system of England and Wales. By examining what makes the rules of the game change between the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, the paper explains an instance of institutionalisation in the making. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Our contribution stresses that constitutive rules play a pivotal role for recognising, identifying and labelling organisational routines, thus generating order, stability and patterning.

什么解释了新交互模式的出现？论生成机制、构成规则和收费程序

借鉴生成机制作为构成性规则的概念，本文主张从将惯例作为持续变化的来源的概念转变为将惯例作为制度事实的基于规则的理解。虽然最近的实践转向惯例研究强调了内生变化的来源，但本文采用批判现实主义的立场来研究导致新惯例出现的外生力量。为此，本文力图分析英格兰和威尔士刑事司法系统中新立法的通过。通过研究是什么让警察和皇家检察院之间的游戏规则发生了变化，本文解释了制度化的一个例子。讨论了理论和实践意义。
