Book excerpt: Abstract: The government's role in establishing and enforcing regulatory policy and processes is discussed.

Major issues include: markets and regulation (which discusses the regulatory process and examines the economic and social performance goals that competition, regulation, and governmental techniques expect to achieve); regulatory justifications (which examines technical efficiency and welfare efficiency, complex problems with no single solution); equity (realms of values); and the politics of regulations (which examines legislation; administration, and reform).
