Regulatory Cooperation
International Regulatory Cooperation and the Making of “Good” Regulators
From: Corporate Rules
$1.90
In this chapter Stuart Trew examines the cooperation between international and national regulations. Trew argues that the government understands the primary target of International Regulatory Cooperation as the regulators themselves rather than any one outcome of successful regulatory harmonization. By directly enlisting agency regulatory officials in the management of North American trade, in close partnership with private sector and, to a lesser extent, non-industry civil society groups, executive level authorities in Canada and the US make themselves critical nodes, arbiters of legitimate governmental action in the free trade period. The author stresses that this is becoming a classically (neo)liberal view of governance as a problem-solving activity wherein government itself is the main problem.
