Description
Regulation has become a central aspect of contemporary governance as a result of public management reforms over recent decades. However, the ideas of regulation have become increasingly contested, with key failures in areas such as financial markets, nuclear power and food safety revealing limitations in strategies once praised for their problem-solving abilities. This major new text introduces the issues affecting regulatory regimes, assessing different regulatory strategies to deal with real-world challenges. It examines key areas in regulatory policy and reform, including rule-making and enforcement, better regulation, infrastructure regulation, international regulation, and risk regulation. The authors use a range of hypothetical and real-world examples to illustrate key issues, options, and trade-offs, encouraging readers to think critically about the available regulatory options. Drawing on up-to-date research, this text provides a clear and useful toolkit for thinking analytically about regulation, making it an essential resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of contemporary governance.
