The Politics of Regulation in the UK

More about the book

The discourse of regulatory crisis in the UK is examined, highlighting the persistent entrenchment of regulatory institutions despite increasing challenges to their principles. The book analyzes the implications for understanding the British state's contemporary nature, showing how regulation has shifted from a technocratic domain to a focal point of political scrutiny and public discourse. It situates the British regulatory tradition within broader contexts, addressing Europeanization and critically exploring the narratives of neoliberalism and participatory democracy in today's society.
