Content

Regulatory Governance incisively analyses the regulatory top-down regimes that are currently dominated globally. How does this way of governance work out? Taking a critical perspective, the book offers an account of the inherent vulnerability of the regulatory state caused by one-sided thinking and the predominance of governing through hard regulation. Steering by governance replaces representative government, followed by a democratic deficit. New Public Management (NPM) is part of this way of govern markets and social life.

Regulatory governance is inclined to eliminate transparency and downgrades the importance of cultural and social forces. In Europe dominates the regulatory state of the European Union, inclusive the Nordic countries.

This state-of-the-art book will be invaluable for students of social and economic studies and will also provide an engaging read for servants and policymakers.
