78163 Law and Regulation

This subject explores the concept of regulation. As political, economic and social change occurs traditional methods of regulating the economy, preserving the environment, enhancing protections of rights/ensuring liability and providing social justice become less effective. This subject aims to examine the traditional aspects of regulation and juxtapose them against the new forms of regulation which may possibly create better avenues for outcomes. These new forms of regulation, sometimes terms 'new governance' expand across balancing national, international and supra-national coordination or enhancing the cooperation between public and private institutions. The aim of this subject is to build upon a traditional understanding of regulation and to begin to explore the institutions and techniques which are producing novel outcomes and practices.
