THE POLITICS OF REGULATION: INSTITUTIONS AND REGULATORY REFORMS FOR THE AGE OF GOVERNANCE
Book ID/图书代码： 04289514B71553
English Summary/英文概要： 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. The contributors to this volume analyse how regulatory regimes that were once peculiar to the US and a few industries have, in recent years, come to define the best practice of governance over the world capitalist economy and over numerous social and economic sectors. They go on to suggest various explanations for the expansion of regulatory institutions, addressing some of the most critical problems and offering new methodological techniques to enable further study. The contributions also provide distinct cross-national and cross-sectoral comparative approaches, and emphasise the changes in the economic and social context of regulation and the implications of these developments on the rise of the regulatory state. These changes, together with the general advance in the study of regulation, undoubtedly demand a re-evaluation of the theory of regulation, its methodologies and scope of application. This book is a perceptive investigation of recent evolutions in the manner and extent of governance through regulation. Scholars and students of comparative politics, public policy, regulation theory, institutional economics and political sociology will find it to be essential reading. It will also prove a valuable source of reference for those working or dealing with regulatory authorities and for business managers in private industries and services operating under a regulatory framework.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书表明，自上世纪80年代中期以来，尤其是在90年代期间，监管改革的范围和广度是如此惊人，以至于有必要重新评估当前研究监管政治的方法。作者呼吁采用不同的和新的视角来研究这一领域。本书的作者分析了监管制度是如何在近年来界定全球资本主义经济以及众多社会和经济部门的最佳治理实践的，而这些制度曾是美国和少数行业所特有的。他们继续对管理机构的扩大提出了各种解释，解决了一些最关键的问题，并提供了新的方法技术，使进一步的研究成为可能。报告还提供了独特的跨国家和跨部门的比较方法，并强调了监管的经济和社会背景的变化以及这些发展对监管国家崛起的影响。这些变化，加上管制研究的普遍进展，无疑需要重新评价管制理论、方法和适用范围。这本书是对通过法规进行治理的方式和范围的最近演变的一个有洞察力的调查。比较政治学、公共政策、管制理论、制度经济学和政治社会学的学者和学生将会发现这本书是必读的。它还将为那些与监管当局工作或打交道的人以及在监管框架下运营的私营行业和服务的业务经理提供宝贵的参考资料。（WYL）
