The use of regulation to control behavior is a defining feature of
modern government, penetrating a wide range of social and economic
life, from health and social care to transport and environmental
protection. This book offers a detailed study of how regulation
works in practice, its legal framework, and the arguments
surrounding its economic and social impact.
The book focuses on a range of British regulatory bodies, including
the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, the Food
Standards Agency, the Environment Agency, the Health and Safety
Executive, the regulators for health and social care, and the
utility regulators covering communications, energy, rail, and
water. It uncovers the complex network of different institutions
that constitute the regulatory enterprise, including central
government departments and European institutions. It argues that
effective regulatory accountability requires that the relations
between the different bodies are clear and transparent, and
assesses the extent to which this is achieved in practice.
The book highlights the range of tasks which regulators perform.
Many regulators are responsible for economic regulation aimed at
increasing efficiency and promoting consumer choice, but they also
have other roles, notably protecting human rights, promoting social
solidarity and social inclusion, and providing a forum for
deliberation and learning through listening to different interests.
The different legal duties of regulators, and their operation in
practice, are examined in relation to these different roles, with
an emphasis on how regulators ought to decide and how they can be
held accountable for their decisions.
Finally the book looks at how regulators themselves are regulated
as part of the 'better regulation' initiative, examining attempts
to reduce regulatory burdens and to improve regulatory procedures,
for example through the use of regulatory impact analysis. It also
features comparative analysis of experience from France and the
USA.
