Regulation Institution And The Law

The need to regulate certain aspects of the market economy is acknowledged widely. There are now many agencies in India, which use institutional and legal mechanisms to do this. Though regulation is intimately related to law,it goes beyond it. A large body of standard literature on regulation has grown organically in response to the markets in the United States and Western Europe. The twelve papers in Regulation, Institutions and the Law try to understand the specific context within which regulation has unforlded in a country like India, which is different in many ways from that of the United States and Western Europe. The volume alos dwells on how these regulatory issues flow across national boundaries and affect the international arena in this age of globalization.
