This book analyses the regulatory regimes that are now having their
day of dominance. The traditional ideal of democracy as governance
by the people has been overshadowed by the practice of governance
over the people through extensive top-down regulatory measures. In
the regulatory state, the concepts of regulation as authoritative
rules and agree normative action lead to the important distinction
between 'hard regulation' and 'soft regulation'. This book offers
an account of the inherent vulnerability of the regulatory state
caused by one-sided economic thinking and the predominance of
governing through hard regulation. The implementation of policies
has been taken over by technocratic, 'unelected' arm's length state
bodies, which govern over more than by the people. This book
focuses on contextual universal issues but with selected cases from
Scandinavia and the regulatory European Union.
