Centre for Regulatory Studies Regulation has become one of the most important economic, political and legal concerns of the 1990s. This is apparent from the big changes now happening in energy markets through increased competition, through competition in telecommunications and broadcasting, through the problems of ensuring an efficient rail network and in enforcing health and safety legislation. These examples make it clear that universities can make an important research contribution in many ways to the current debates. In order to assist the University to develop its research on these matters most effectively, an inter-disciplinary Centre for Regulatory Studies has been established, including members from the Faculties of Law and Financial Studies and Social Sciences , and with participation by colleagues from Strathclyde and other universities.
Membership is open to all staff and postgraduate students with an interest in regulatory matters.
The Convenor is Professor Tony Prosser, School of Law, and the Deputy Convenor, Dr Charles Woolfson, Faculty of Social Sciences.
