About this book

This book examines de facto regulation frameworks and methods in a variety of areas, such as banking, transportation, cyberspace, the non-profit sector, and more. Authored by experts in the field, this book deals with the “big” questions about the idea of regulation. It reveals the tentativeness of current regulatory schemes, the difficulties in balancing between the shared objective of protecting the public interest and other interests such as market stability, and promoting competition. The case studies point to the need for better planning and for more coherent policies. This collection offers to students of public policy, management and law, policy makers and practitioners a broad spectrum of insights—theoretical and practical—and contributes to the ongoing deliberations on the ways that  regulatory arrangements could serve the public interest more efficiently.

Reviews

“Regulation and regulators are becoming increasingly important, especially due to the fact that now more than ever, they are expected to balance their regulatory role with governance, democracy, transparency, reducing inequality, and public safety. The ongoing tension between ensuring the quality of various public services and protecting the public interest, particularly of non-ruling groups, will continue to attract the attention of policymakers—especially in the era of the post-coronavirus pandemic. This book provides us with an in-depth analysis of case studies in Israel that have recently reshaped public bodies. It provides valuable insights and tools that are relevant for scholars and practitioners in Israel and abroad.”
