Yet a century later, the formalization of this theory remains, in various ways, unresolved. In this paper I provide a formal analysis of how the working of a system containing Hohfeldian rights and duties can be delineated. This formalization starts from using the same tools as the classical ones by Kanger and Lindahl used, but instead of focusing on the algebraic features of rights and duties, it aims at providing a comprehensive analysis of what these rights and duties actually are and how they behave and at saying something substantial on Power too\u2014maintaining all along the Hohfeldian intentions that these rights and duties are<jats:italic>sui generis<\/jats:italic>and inherently relational.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11225-019-09870-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,16]],"date-time":"2019-09-16T10:04:14Z","timestamp":1568628254000},"page":"129-158","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Understanding Hohfeld and Formalizing Legal Rights: The Hohfeldian Conceptions and Their Conditional Consequences"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"108","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2488-2293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R\u00e9ka","family":"Markovich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"9870_CR1","unstructured":"Bentham, J., The works of Jeremy Bentham, W.
