Description: Regulating Europe explains why economic and social regulation is rapidly becoming the new frontier of public policy and public administration in Europe. This regulation, being implemented at the national and EU level, is starting to replace older forms of state intervention and the Keynesian welfare state.

The book is divided into three parts, the first of which lays down the theoretical background to the new developments. The second is concerned with a variety of case studies including both social and economic regulation at the national and EU level. The last part provides critical evaluation of the current policy process and institutional developments.
