Second Biennial Conference of the ECPR Standig Group on Regulation Governance, Utrecht University, the Netherlands 5-7 June 2008.

STREAM:
Specialisation and coordination of regulatory and other public bodies: Joining up in a mulit-actor and multi-level setting.

The call for papers is attached below. You are kindly invited to submit a paper abstract.

Focus: Because of increasing specialisation of regulatory bodies, the regulatory field becomes increasingly complex involving multi-actor, multi-level and multi-sector issues. In this regard, there is a need for joining up and institutional co-operation between the regulators across these different levels of government in order to increase transparency, coordination and consistency in the set of regulations and their applications.
