The Politics of regulation: Institutions and regulatory reforms for the age of governance

Abstract

This book suggests that the scope and breadth of regulatory reforms since the mid-1980s and particularly during the 1990s, are so striking that they necessitate a reappraisal of current approaches to the study of the politics of regulation. The authors call for the adoption of different and fresh perspectives to examine this area. © Jacint Jordana, David Levi-Faur 2004. All rights reserved.
