Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference. Published quarterly, Regulation & Governance is essential reading for academics, regulators and regulatory experts throughout the world. It provides a forum for original research, debate and refinement of key ideas and findings in one of the most important fields of the social sciences. The editors and outstanding editorial board of this peer-reviewed journal are committed to open and critical dialogue and encourage scholarly papers from different disciplines, using diverse methodologies and from any area of regulation.
