An Introduction to Law and Regulation
By
Bronwen Morgan, Karen Yeung
Description
In recent years,
regulation has emerged as one of the most distinct and important
fields of study in the social sciences, both for policy-makers and
for scholars who require a theoretical framework that can be applied
to any social sector. This timely textbook provides a conceptual map
of the field and an accessible and critical introduction to the
subject. Morgan and Yeung set out a diverse and stimulating selection
of materials and give them context with a comprehensive and critical
commentary. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and emphasising
the role of law in its broader social and political context, it will
be an invaluable tool for the student coming to regulation for the
first time. This clearly structured, academically rigorous title,
with a contextualised perspective, is essential reading for all
students of the subject.
• Broad
audience appeal, adopting an interdisciplinary approach that covers a
range of social scientific perspectives whilst emphasising the role
of law in regulation • A clear organising frame to orient
readers through a broad and diverse range of literature drawn from a
large variety of disciplinary perspectives, whilst a critical
commentary allows an overview of academic debates • Existing
books tend to be directed primarily for policy-makers, limited to
single disciplinary perspective, or where interdisciplinary comprises
of literature extracts without an organising frame and commentary
