Regulation is often thought of as an activity that restricts behaviour and prevents the occurrence of certain undesirable activities, but the influence of regulation can also be enabling or facilitative, as when a market could potentially be chaotic if uncontrolled. This Handbook provides a clear and authoritative discussion of the major trends and issues in regulation over the last thirty years, together with an outline of prospective developments. It brings together contributions from leading scholars from a range of disciplines and countries.

Each chapter offers a broad overview of key current issues and provides an analysis of different perspectives on those issues. Experiences in different jurisdictions and insights from various disciplines are drawn upon, and particular attention is paid to the challenges that are encountered when specific approaches are applied in practice. Contributors develop their own distinctive arguments relating to the central issues in regulation and apply scholarly rigour and clear writing to matters of high policy-relevance. The essays are original, accessible, and agenda-setting, and the Handbook will be essential reading both to students and researchers and to with regulatory and regulated professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... my studies in a regulatory policy course which was recommended by my lecturer

This book is very handy especially for my studies in a regulatory policy course which was recommended by my lecturer. Thank you Amazon i have now understand the meaning of regulation something that was new to me at first as i have no experience in this field. Hence, by reading through and glancing through some of the chapters it has made things a bit more clearer to me. I give it a 5 star rate and i'm sure those who read this book will find it interesting as it enhances ones knowledge and learning of regulation. It is good in a way as it draws from authors from multi-disciplinary with multi-perspectives towards the topic of regulation.

4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a good introduction to regulation and the various views around how it applies and can apply to policy situations. The strength of the book is that it is written by a variety of authors, all knowledgable in their respective fields. A weakness, however, is the flip side of the previous statement: some writers are better at expressing themselves and their ideas than other contributors.

Overall though, I recommend this book

1.0 out of 5 stars Complex for complexities' sake.
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016
It is hard not to be impressed by the unnecessary complexity of the Oxford Handbook of Regulation. Baldwin, Cave, and Lodge went to impressive lengths to deter the academic reader from finding any enjoyment or intellectual satisfaction in the study of this book. The prose in this book is highly abstract, but contains very little substance. I am not opposed against complexity, but I am opposed against complexity for the complexities' sake - the content covered is by no means rocket science.

Il s'agit tout simplement de la référence actuelle en matière de régulation. L'approche n'est ni simplement juridique, ni simplement économique. Elle brasse et mixe un ensemble de connaissance ce qui en fait un ouvrage assez atypique pour le lecteur français... mais il procure une belle ouverture et on y apprend beaucoup! A lire sans hésiter si l'on s'intéresse à ces questions.
