Handbook on the Politics of Regulation

Edited by David Levi-Faur, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

‘To my mind, this Handbook has accomplished a major task - mapping and analysing the intellectual terrain around today’s regulatory fabric and tomorrow’s regulatory challenges. It is to be commended for not only taking on that task but also for succeeding so well. It is rare for the blurb on a book cover to match up to the text inside. In this Handbook, it does. The Handbook gives extraordinary coverage, and is comprehensive, engaging, informed and quite frankly, exciting. What a great combination.’
