Bruce Doern Summary Annotation "The world of regulatory institutions has been in a state of flux for the last two decades, and valuable lessons can be learned from a comparative focus on the nature and causes of institutional change and reform in the regulatory agencies and institutions of the United States, Canada, and Great Britain." "The contributing authors, mainly political scientists and legal scholars but also practising regulators, make the case for a much broader conceptual view of regulation, arguing that it is increasingly necessary for key regulatory interests - business and consumers - to understand regulation in terms of an interplay among four regimes: sectoral, framework, intra-cabinet, and international. They also explore inter-regime regulatory institutional relations through case studies to demonstrate how regulatory institutions respond to competing regulatory requirements and to tensions between sectoral utility regulators and competition and environmental regulators." "The book seeks to provide students with a work that focuses on the political and institutional dimensions of regulation, to complement existing studies from the economic and legal perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
