Regulation & Governance

Edited by:

---

Regulation & Governance aims to serve 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 will be essential reading for academics, regulators and regulatory experts throughout the world. It will provide 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.

Sspecial issue (March 2008) - Health Care and New Governance: The Quest for Effective Regulation
Edited by Louise G. Trubek, Joe Rees, A.Bryce Hoflund, Mary Beth Farquhar, Carol Heimer

The Special Issue explores a series of reforms in the regulation of health care, acknowledging that in many cases, health care regulation is outmoded and ineffective and new regulatory institutions and tools are needed to solve contemporary problems. Included are:

• hybrid governance systems for hospitals and university research that combine traditional regulatory systems with new governance mechanisms for flexibility and diversity;
• public-private organizations and processes designed to improve patient safety by incorporating both uniform standards and professional judgment;
• multilevel coordination within the European Union aimed at improving the efficiency and equity of health care
