Featuring a comprehensive analytical collection of
interdisciplinary research on regulatory authorities, this
innovative Handbook presents the fundamental concepts, theories,
practices, and empirical achievements and challenges in the
contemporary study of regulatory authorities. Opening with a
comparative overview of regulators across global regions,
regulatory sectors, and regulatory types, the Handbook discusses
the key regulatory conceptual issues of independence,
politicization, and quality. Contributions from leading scholars
and regulatory practitioners provide cutting-edge research on
reputation, performance, and control in regulatory authorities.
Chapters combine foundational theoretical concepts with empirical
research to consider the emerging advances, challenges, and
questions in the field, while also giving weight to critical
examinations of complex and underexplored issues in research on
regulatory authorities. Forward-thinking, the Handbook concludes by
expanding its focus to analyse behavioural insights, innovation,
agenda-setting, and new frontiers in regulation. With a
cross-disciplinary approach, this all-encompassing Handbook will
prove invaluable for students and scholars of politics, law, and
economics with a regulatory governance perspective. Global in
scope, it will be an essential point of reference for policy
analysts, practitioners, and policymakers working in regulation and
regulatory authorities.
This book deals with large-scale, systemic corruption, a phenomenon
that it identifies as part of the political landscape in most, if
not all, societies of the contemporary world. While the analysis is
grounded in the political thought of earlier thinkers, especially
Edmund Burke, and integrates the insights of several modern
analysts of corruption, the volume offers a new, updated
theoretical perspective on the topic. This perspective reflects
deep concerns with corruption in a world facing accelerated social
transition, increased economic polarization, and growing distrust
toward political elites in many countries. This book approaches
corrupt practices both theoretically and empirically, offering the
perspectives of scholars who come to the topic from different
traditions and cultures. It contains the collective efforts of
members of the Research Committee on Political Finance and Public
Corruption of the International Political Science Association. In
formulating a comprehensive approach on corruption, the volume
offers insights in regard to new developments in the United States,
in Middle Eastern countries (especially in the wake of the Arab
Spring), in several European counties (Austria, Italy, Spain), as
well as in the People's Republic of China. The analysis goes beyond
the traditional legal definitions of corruption or purely economic
views of it and focuses more broadly on institutional, cultural,
and normative dimensions of this globally important phenomenon.
