The philosophical underpinnings of regulation are examined in an historical and institutional context. The subject provides students with a granular understanding of the rationale for regulation. It focuses on the interdependent, dynamic and contested inter-relationship between the state, civil society and the market in both regulatory design and calibration. The first part of the course examines differing modes of regulation, including command and control, co-regulation and self-regulation. The second component of the course focuses on contemporary challenges facing financial regulatory regimes.
