    "abstract": "In this paper we reconsider the constraints which are imposed by relativistic\nrequirements to any model of dynamical reduction. We review the debate on the\nsubject and we call attention on the fundamental contributions by Aharonov and\nAlbert. Having done this we present a new formulation, which is much simpler\nand more apt for our analysis, of the proposal put forward by these authors to\nperform measurements of nonlocal observables by means of local interactions and\ndetections. We take into account recently proposed relativistic models of\ndynamical reduction and we show that, in spite of some mathematical\ndifficulties related to the appearence of divergences, they represent a\nperfectly appropriate conceptual framework which meets all necessary\nrequirements for a relativistic account of wave packet reduction. Subtle\nquestions like the appropriate way to deal with counterfactual reasoning in a\nrelativistic and nonlocal context are also analyzed in detail.",
