Trade Review‘To my mind, this Handbook
has accomplished a major task - mapping and analysing the intellectual terrain around today’s regulatory fabric and tomorrow’s regulatory challenges. It is to be commended for not only taking on that task but also for succeeding so well. It is rare for the blurb on a book cover to match up to the text inside. In this Handbook,
it does. The Handbook
gives extraordinary coverage, and is comprehensive, engaging, informed and quite frankly, exciting. What a great combination.’ -- Graeme Hodge, Australian Journal of Political Science
‘Political science has leap-frogged law, economics, and sociology to become the dominant discipline contributing to regulatory studies. David Levi-Faur’s volume taps the rich veins of regulatory scholarship that have made this the case. It brings together the talented new network of politics scholars intrigued by the importance of the changing nature of state and non-state regulation. Their fresh insights complement important new work by established stars of the field. Definitely a book to have on your shelf when in search of exciting theoretical approaches to politics.’ -- John Braithwaite, Australian National University
‘“Regulation”, in its manifold forms, is the central process of contemporary governance, as it seeks to blend the dynamism of market economies with responsiveness to political and normative demands for health, safety, environmental protection, and fairness. Understanding regulation’s varieties, vulnerabilities, and virtues has become a significant focus of academic research and theory. This volume provides an extraordinary survey of research in that field - a survey remarkable in its comprehensiveness, outstanding in the quality of the contributions by leading regulatory scholars from different nations and academic disciplines.’ -- Robert A. Kagan, University of California, Berkeley, US ‘An authoritative collection by a range of contributors with outstanding reputations in the field.’– Michael Moran, University of Manchester, UK
