UNDERSTANDING REGULATION

The way in which regulation works is a key concern of industries, consumers, citizens, and governments alike. Understanding Regulation takes the reader through the central issues of regulation and discusses these from a number of disciplinary perspectives. The fundamental strategies, institutions, and explanations of regulation are reviewed and the means of identifying ''good'' regulation are outlined. It is an excellently constructed work, and provides much food for thought for the times in which we live. New Law Journal The book is well researched and written with enough conviction to make a valuable contribution in developing our understanding of the choices regulation presents us with and the potential of new regulatory arrangements going forward.
