A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Another excellent testimony to the steady increase in the political and academic appreciation of Regulatory impact assessment (RIA). Dunlop and Radaelli appropriately position RIA inside the broader field of good governance and comparative public policy: RIA is a matter of good policy-making and not (only) about reducing regulatory burdens. This publication is framed around valid assumptions about RIA as a highly contextualized phenomenon with stakeholders extracting very different kinds of purpose from the use of RIA. It is an important contribution to the growing regulatory governance agenda. The skilful consolidation of existing research and experiences, combined with new insights and innovations from leading experts and practitioners make this an interesting read for both scholars, policy-makers and specialists in (regulatory) governance.' --- Peter Ladegaard, Global Lead for Regulatory Policy and Management, World Bank

'This impressive Handbook, with high standard contributions from thirty-eight authors in political science, economics, law, business and geography, could not be more timely. Comprehensive, well-grounded in theory, well-written and thought-through, this book brings a balanced account of (regulatory) impact assessment as being not only a rational-expert instrument, but also a process affected and interwoven with political decision-making. A must-read for all those academics and practitioners across the globe interested in policy making.' --- Koen Verhoest, University of Antwerp, Co-chair ECPR Standing Group on Regulatory Governance, Belgium

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) is the main instrument used by governments and regulators to appraise the likely effects of their policy proposals. This pioneering Handbook provides a comparative and comprehensive account of this tool, situating it in the relevant theoretical traditions and scrutinising its use across countries, policy sectors, and policy instruments.Comprising six parts, university researchers, international consultants and practitioners working in international organizations examine regulatory impact assessment from many perspectives, which include:* Research traditions in the social sciences* implementation, regulatory indicators, and effects* tools and dimensions such as courts and gender* sectoral case studies including environment, enterprise and international development* international diffusion in the European Union (EU), Americas, Asia and developing countries* appraisal, training and education.With its wealth of detail and lessons to be learned, the Handbook of Regulatory Impact Assessment will undoubtedly be of great value to practitioners and scholars working in governance, political science and socio-legal studies.
