Description
Understanding Regulation Theory, Strategy, and Practice by Robert Baldwin, Martin Cave, and Martin Lodge provides a comprehensive introduction to the key debates and discussions in the field of regulation. The book has been extensively revised and updated to reflect the significant developments and events of the past decade, covering topics such as 'better regulation', enforcement, self-regulation, risk regulation, and cost-benefit analysis. Drawing on cross-sectoral and cross-national examples, this book reviews the central questions of regulation and reflects upon the contentious issues that affect the design and operation of regulatory institutions. It is an essential resource for academics, researchers, and graduates studying regulation, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between regulation, strategy, and practice. The book is structured into seven parts, covering fundamental issues, regulatory strategies, rules and enforcement, quality and evaluation, regulation at different levels of government, network issues, and concluding thoughts.
