Regulations and Organizations. International Perspectives - Book Notes

Organization Studies,  May-June, 2002  

Glenn Morgan and Lars Engwall (eds.): Regulations and Organizations. International Perspectives

1999. London: Routledge. 280 pages.

This edited volume examines the nature of regulation, its evolution in particular sectors and its impact on social and economic equality. It draws on the social theory concerned with the nature of regulation and order in modern societies as well as providing a series of detailed analyses of particular forms of regulatory regimes in national and international contexts. The book is divided into four major themes: (1) Concepts of Regulation, Rules and Control, (2) Regulatory Regimes and Governance, (3) The Evolution of Regulatory Processes: Formal and Informal Mechanisms of Change, and (4) Regulation, Power and Inequality. It is written for a broad audience, ranging from management and business researchers to sociologists and political economists concerned with the process of regulation and its impact on organizations and management.
