This collection of essays explores the balance between business interests and public welfare in global regulatory frameworks, focusing on competition, coordination, and the evolving landscape of international markets.
International Regulatory Competition and Coordination is a collection of essays that explores the complexities of regulating global markets while balancing the interests of businesses and the public. The volume highlights the significant changes that occurred during the 1980s and 1990s, marked by the rise of globalized markets and a fluctuating landscape of deregulation and re-regulation. The emergence of transnational corporations and the privatization of various sectors have contributed to an unprecedented expansion of international business networks, creating both opportunities and challenges.
The essays delve into the pressing issue of regulation in the context of global markets, addressing key areas such as market access, product safety, consumer protection, and competition laws. While businesses often argue that regulatory requirements can impede market growth, there is a growing public awareness regarding the importance of regulations, particularly concerning environmental protection and consumer rights. This duality raises questions about how to create a regulatory framework that effectively serves both economic and social interests.
Divided into several sections, the book examines topics such as the globalization of regulatory processes, regulatory competition in company law, and the dynamics of regulatory regimes within the European Union. By providing a comprehensive analysis of these themes, International Regulatory Competition and Coordination offers valuable insights for lawyers, economists, and political scientists alike, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on international regulation. Its broad appeal ensures that it will be of interest to readers in both the US and Europe.
