Overview
About the course
In the process, we cover the core theories of regulation, the key actors in the regulatory process, and the main modes of regulation and regulatory enforcement.
We utilise the theoretical foundations to analyse recent (real-world) cases of the introduction and change of modes of regulation and regulatory enforcement. In our case studies, we compare the adopted policy option to its alternatives, we analyse the role of the different actors involved in the process, and we reflect on the different drivers of the regulatory process.
The focus of the Regulatory Policy and Politics course at King's College London is generic, though the literature we read and the case we study are mainly concerned with regulation in the EU and OECD context. Furthermore, the module primarily deals with regulation at the national level, though our last session covers a primary example of international-level regulation; namely, EU regulation.
