Adminstrative Law -- Delegated Legislation

Indeks : p. 345-353 ; An Introduction to Law and Regulation is a systematic treatment of the mechanical elements of regulation. It draws from current multidisciplinary research to present the different mechanical dimensions of regulation and the regulatory process within a contemporary analytical framework based upon the sociological approaches to understanding regulation. In presenting the framework, the authors commence in Chapter Two by describing a range of theoretical perspectives directed towards explaining the origins, purpose and functions of regulation and regulatory behaviour that have emerged over the past several decades. The theoretical context is followed in Chapter Three by a more applied description of different regulatory techniques and models as well as how the choice of technique is related to the political questions underlying the choice of regulatory instruments. Chapter Four discusses the important topics of enforcement and compliance focusing on important questions relating to agency behaviour and, indirectly, the effectiveness of differing regulatory methods. Chapter Five examines the issues of accountability and legitimacy which is a necessary foundation for the discussion of the international dimensions of regulation which is presented in Chapter Six.
