'A thoughtful collection on meaning and method in compliance.
Parker and Nielsen assemble stellar scholars to provide a
state-of-the-art understanding of business compliance with
regulation.' - John Braithwaite, Australian National University,
Canberra 'Business responses to regulation is a key area of social
science research. Parker and Nielsen's collection brings together
an excellent group of scholars with innovative, and I believe
highly influential contributions that problematize the relations
between regulation and compliance. The collection is a highly
welcome addition to our field, that will redefine the research
agenda on compliance. A significant achievement that will help to
improve policy making and frame the scholarly research agenda for
the years to come.' - David Levi-Faur, The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel and the Free University of Berlin, Germany
'Taking a broad view of regulation, and covering a wide range of
issues and industries, this collection is the most innovative
effort to date to understand the responses of business firms to
regulation. The book brings together an impressive group of
scholars who analyze the concept of compliance and offer
theoretically informed studies of its assumed links to regulation.
A must read for both academics and practitioners, this
ground-breaking collection firmly establishes a scholarly field of
compliance studies.' - Ronen Shamir, Tel Aviv University, Israel 'A
timely and important set of analyses on how and why businesses
respond to regulation in the way that they do from some of the
leading authors in the field, covering business responses to both
state and non-state regulatory systems.' - Julia Black, London
School of Economics, UK Explaining Compliance consists of sixteen
specially commissioned chapters by the world's leading empirical
researchers, examining whether and how businesses comply with
regulation that is designed to affect positive behavior changes.
Each chapter consists of reflective summaries on business
compliance with different state or voluntary regulation, and the
theoretical lessons to be drawn from it. As a whole, the book
develops understanding and explanations of how, why and in what
circumstances, firms come to comply with regulation, and when they
do not. It also uncovers the complexity, ambiguity and
transformation of regulation as it is interpreted, implemented and
negotiated by firms, their stakeholders and internal constituencies
in everyday business life. This unique and detailed resource will
appeal to academics, graduate students and senior undergraduates in
law, political science, sociology, criminology, economics, and
psychology, as well as business and interdisciplinary areas such as
law and society, and law and economics. Anyone researching business
regulation, corporate social responsibility, regulation and
compliance, enforcement and compliance, and public administration,
will also find this book beneficial. Contributors: G. Auld, J.C.
