Law, Regulation, and Governance
No Customer Reviews
This book presents a comprehensive view of the ways in which the state and social actors use a range of rules and practices to govern and control many areas of social and work life, from the environment to cyberspace, from labour relations to corporate governance. The book explores the impact of globalization and technological change on regulation and governance and the challenges they pose to traditional notions of state sovereignty.The 15 chapters by leading scholars and specialists in the field are organized into five parts: Theoretical Dimensions; Labour, Capital, and the State; Dispute Resolution; Governing Self-Regulation; and Historical and Cultural Perspectives on Regulation and Governance. While some chapters present theoretical understandings and overviews of particular areas of state involvement in civil society, others offer case studies of specific instances of regulation and governance. Indeed, a recurrent theme in this important collection is that however much the regulation and governance of society seem to change, the state remains involved either directly or indirectly by overseeing the self-regulation of social actors.
