Regulatory Governance - eBooks and textbooks from bookboon.com

Abstract

Regulatory Governance incisively analyses the regulatory top-down regimes that are currently dominated globally. How does this way of governance work out? Taking a critical perspective, the book offers an account of the inherent vulnerability of the regulatory state caused by one-sided thinking and the predominance of governing through hard regulation. Steering by governance replaces representative government, followed by a democratic deficit. New Public Management (NPM) is part of this way of govern markets and social life.
