Regulatory studies, long neglected in anatmosphere focusedon deregulatory work, is in critical need of newmodels and theoriesthat can guideeffective policy-making. This interdisciplinary volumepoints the waytoward the modernization of regulatory theory. Itsessays by leadingscholars move past predominant approaches,integrating the latestresearch about the interplay between humanbehavior, societal needs, andregulatory institutions. The bookconcludes by setting out a potentialresearch agenda for the socialsciences.
