Marc Allen Eisner

Regulatory Politics in an Age of Polarization and Drift (eBook, ePUB)

Beyond Deregulation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, author Marc Eisner provides an accessible introduction to the complex topic of regulatory politics, ideal for upper-level and graduate courses, walking the reader through a clear-eyed and careful examination of:

• the dynamics of regulatory change since the 1970s
• social regulation and institutional design
• forms of gradual change-including conversion, layering, and drift
• gridlock, polarization, and the privatization of regulation
• financial collapse and the anatomy of regulatory failure

Demonstrating that transparency and accountability-the hallmarks of public regulation-are increasingly absent, and that deregulation was but one factor in our most recent significant financial collapse, the Great Recession, this book urges readers to look beyond deregulation and consider the broader political implications for our current system of voluntary participation in regulatory programs and the proliferation of public-private partnerships.
