Yes, joint action and interaction seem
synonymous. The use of joint action to group two or more actions by
two or more actors in an interaction flows pretty smoothly for me
though.

Ken,
Actually, there are two types of Willingness articulated in
that passage from the RM. One associated with interaction (which is the
primary focus) but also one associated with action.
And this is why I hate the concept of Joint Action introduced
in the RA. It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to explain this concept to
anybody. Can’t even understand it myself and we cannot go out there and
hand hold everybody who reads the RA to explain what the heck we mean by Joint
Action. In my opinion, there’s interaction and action and that’s what we
should concentrate on. Period. Hate it when we deviate from the core
concepts of the RM. I think you’d agree.
